Dear Colleagues: 

2009 is an especially important year for the community to gather and
collaboratively address the challenges our institutions face. It's more
important than ever to actively network, tap into colleagues' expertise,
and explore future strategies together. For these reasons, we hope you
are planning to attend the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference in November. You
can review the program and additional conference information at
http://net.educause.edu/e09

We also invite you to attend our Higher Education Information Security
Council (formerly the Security Task Force) open meeting on Thursday,
November 5. You will be able to learn more about our current
initiatives, new strategic directions, as well as volunteer
opportunities. Security risks are rising during ever-tighter budget
times; we are all about advocacy and effective practices to help us all
mitigate and manage those risks better than ever, despite the
challenges. So, bring your questions and suggestions regarding efforts
to improve information security in higher education.
