(businesses,utilities, city, state, federal, non-profit, health) for IT
emergencies

--compile a list of all IT businesses and IT protection service providers as
a resource for those looking for those services to post on the ISACA and
Infragard chapter's web pages.

--create a basic literacy for information security program to educate the
local working community on the threats and safeguards of Internet and
internal threats to corporate/organizational data.

--bring IT educational opportunities to New Orleans for as little cost as
possible.
