Mary Texer, director of IT Industry relations, has been focusing her energies on partnering with the Center's members to develop opportunities for technology professionals to grow their skills to meet both current and future challenges. 

Materials are being finalized for the IT Leadership Academy.  This 5-1/2 day classroom experience is designed to move the thinking of new IT leaders and high potential candidates from tactical to strategic; from a project orientation to an overall business orientation.  A pilot session will be held in the late fall with a full rollout to follow.

Security expert Gunnar Peterson, principal consultant with Arctec Consulting Group, taught three very successful sessions of a two-day class, "Fundamentals of Secure Application Coding."  Additional classes will be taught this fall, as well as new classes addressing advanced topics. If you would like notification of the scheduling, contact the Center.
