The Center's roles as a system agent, partner broker/consolidator, and an independent producer have been formalized with the establishment of three Strategic Leadership Teams and an alumni Board of Advisors.  As shown in the chart below, the Center has five main focus areas/strategic goals:

Although each strategy focuses on a different audience and area, the overall vision embraces the interrelated efforts of them all. The Center invites you to participate on a Strategic Leadership Team.

Contacts are: for strategy 1 (education to business needs alignment), Bruce Lindberg; strategy 2 (grade 9-14 student outreach & IT awareness), Kate Southwick; strategy 3 (initial job success/career development): alumni outreach, Sharon Boerbon Hanson; college student: Kate Southwick; strategy 4 (continuing professional development and security programs), Mary Texer. See Projects & Programs for information on strategy area 5.

To better align the Center for Strategic IT & Security's name with our mission, the Center is conducting a branding exercise, expected to be finalized in fall, 2009.
