Guest post by the Community Affairs Committee.
Last week, we met some of the Community Affairs Committee (CAC) leads. Each one of the CAC members firmly believes that strong communities = strong STC. Meet a few more CAC members, who are dedicated to help your communities.

He is a policy and awareness analyst in the information security office at the Rochester Institute of Technology and is adjunct professor in the department of computing security and department of communication. Ben serves as the awareness and training working group co-chair of the EDUCAUSE Higher Education Information Security Council. He is a previous president of the Rochester chapter and believes that communities are the life blood of STC. In his spare time … never mind.
