Each quarter we will spotlight a member of the ISSA Kentuckiana Chapter. The purpose of this initiative is to showcase an outstanding member who epitomizes the ideals of the ISSA and our chapter, through excellence in the Information Security community, education, contribution to other members, and leadership in their company, the local community, and the Information Security industry. IKC Spotlight Award recognizes individuals who are dedicated and elite members of the Louisville InfoSec Community - they receive a Certificate of Award, a chance to speak at an IKC Meeting, and they also receive a reimbursement of their ISSA membership dues for one year.
