Officers and Committees

The strength of the ISC2 Charlotte Metro Chapter is rooted in the dedication and leadership of our officers and committee members. Each officer and committee plays a unique role in driving the chapter’s mission forward, from planning educational events and managing member engagement to promoting cybersecurity awareness and fostering community outreach.

Our officers serve as the guiding force for strategic decisions, and our committee members bring those plans to life through hands-on efforts in various areas such as membership development, event planning, marketing, and professional growth initiatives.
