Member of ISSA Honor Roll 2005

"As President of the Colorado Springs chapter of the Information Systems Security Association, I wish to thank you for opening our fall conference on September 30. As we all know, security, in particular governance and standards, is not the most exciting subject on which to speak. You, sir, were phenomenal in your presentation. You captivated the audience and earned their admiration with your excitement and knowledgeable presentation. At one point in your presentation you asked, “Are you all excited or is it just me?” Talking with members afterward a couple of attendees remarked that, upon your question, they were surprised to notice that they were indeed excited. Quite the achievement - first thing in the morning.

Your keynote set the tone of the conference and we had one of the best we can remember. We have been holding these conferences twice a year for about nine years, so to be that memorable is an achievement in itself. I extend an invitation for you to attend any of the events that our chapter holds during the year, whether you speak or not. Our chapter considers you one of our friends.

As President of the ISSA-COS chapter, I recommend Ali Pabrai as a speaker to any and all ISSA chapters, world-wide, or any other organizations who wish to be gifted with an outstanding presentation.”
