2017 ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORSThe following are the nominees for the 2017 NCMS Board of Directors election.

You may vote for up to FIVE candidates. The deadline to vote is APRIL 13, 2017. Candidates are listed in alphabetical order by last name.

Dennis P. Arriaga, ISP®

NCMS Member since 1996

Dennis is the Director of Security and Corporate FSO for SRI International, where he leads the diverse team responsible for developing, implementing, and administering security programs across the Institute. Dennis’ security experience spans those involved in corporate security management, as well as those disciplines unique to industrial security within Department of Defense (DOD), Special Access Program (SAP), and Sensitive

Compartment Information (SCI) arenas.

Dennis has been an NCMS member for 20 years, all of which have been with the Northwestern Region Chapter. He served as the Northwestern Region Chapter Chair for four years (2007-2011) and, in 2011, was elected to the NCMS Board of Directors. Since then, he has served as Chair of the Defense Industrial Base, Information Systems Security, and Communications Committees. Dennis is currently serving in his second term as NCMS President and has previously served as the NCMS Treasurer, Secretary, and the liaison for NCMS to the Contractor Special Access Programs Security Working Group (CSSWG).

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

A twofold challenge is ensuring members realize: 1) NCMS is actively involved with policy and program development and deployment and that members must be a key contributor and participant; and 2) membership provides great return for both their professional development AND their company security program. On this, I commit to being an ardent evangelist for NCMS externally and aggressively promote engagement internally.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS is a vital collaborator in the development and deployment of national policy and I see no change in that role. In equipping members, I believe NCMS must continually evolve and explore. First, NCMS must continually evolve the means and modes through which it engages with and provides benefits to its membership. Second, we must explore new associations and providers to assist with our means and mode evolution.v

Patricia Brokenik, ISP®

NCMS Member since 2007

Patricia Brokenik – Trish – has enjoyed working in the industrial security industry for the past twelve years. She is currently the NCMS Capital Region Chapter Chair and a Contractor Program Security Officer (CPSO) and Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) with Northrop Grumman Corporation supporting DoD, SCI and SAP security disciplines after spending the majority of her career with General Dynamics. She got her start with Special Aerospace Security Services (SASSi) and the National Security Training Institute (NSTI). After supporting the DNI Special Security Center’s DCID 6/3 class, she made

the jump into information security, program security, COMSEC and world-wide operations. Through it all she has been an active member of the NCMS Capital Region Chapter, a certified Industrial Security Professional (ISP®) since 2013, and a Certified Authorization Professional.

Trish is passionate about helping her colleagues understand why things are done the way they are, driving change through collaboration and helping lead our security programs to success. She will bring her experience, knowledge and a thorough understanding of security principles to the Society’s leadership to foster greater involvement in sharing best practices amongst the NCMS community with her enthusiastic leadership.

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

A key challenge is the evolving threat to cyber security. Within the collateral security community there is no single organization leading Industry in rising to this challenge. NCMS can! As a Board Member, I will increase communication, training and collaboration of cyber security topics. NCMS can be a key participant and facilitator of the creation and dissemination of cyber security training, policy and best practices.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

The role I see NCMS playing is that of a lobbyist for policy development that best represents the security needs of its membership. As a Board Member I will strive to identify and collect trends within the Society which can be shared with the government partners to influence and drive the development of risk-based security policy, grounded in common sense, which respect the financial and resource limitations of the companies we support.v

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

NCMS succeeds in providing high-quality education and support at all experience levels. A primary focus is and should always be new FSOs for whom it is vital NCMS mold into future ISPs®. But a challenge I recognize is properly engaging the veteran security professional. I will work to provide strategic and advanced-level support for the seasoned FSO with focus on leadership, networking, and professional growth.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few.“What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

Security professionals are faced every day with the challenge of managing workload and a proper, effective balance of compliance vs. business support. As the premier industrial security organization, NCMS should lead the evolution of risk-based compliance for the safeguarding of critical and sensitive information. The modern FSO should strive to not just meet baseline requirements, but be a true business enabler.v

NCMS Member since 2007

Jim Coffey began his industrial security career in 2006, after a 27-year career as a musician with The United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, one of the Army’s premier music ensembles.

Shortly after joining MPRI, a division of L-3 Communications, Jim was drafted to be the FSO. The learning curve was very steep. Sound familiar?Jim persevered, found a home in his new position and joined NCMS. With the guidance of many mentors he turned around a broken program. He received his first Superior Vulnerability Assessment rating in 2008, and his second in 2010. In 2011 he received the Cogswell Award. In 2012 he passed his ISP® exam. In 2014 he arranged the opening ceremony for the NCMS Convention. In 2015 he became a facilitator for the ISP® Exam Prep Program. In 2016 he ran for the vice-chair position of the Capital Region Chapter. Jim has also served as a mentor with the Capital ISAC.

In 2012, MPRI was part of a spin-off from L-3, forming Engility Corporation. In 2015, Engility merged with TASC. Jim assumed the Corporate FSO position for legacy Engility during the 10 month transition with TASC.

In his spare time Jim is a percussionist with a local orchestra and a drummer at his church. He enjoys spending time with his wife and four children, having served as a scout leader, and baseball and softball coach.

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

The greatest threat to America today is cybersecurity. The Jan. 2017 issue of The Dart Board states “Corporate Boards Aren’t Prepared for Cyber Attacks.” NCMS must effectively communicate this message to the C Suites and Corporate Boards so that they can gird themselves against the threat. NCMS must partner with sister organizations, develop a unified message and a plan to get that message to the highest levels of corporate America.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS must continue to partner with our government agencies to understand their intent regarding policy changes, and to help the agencies understand the impact on industry. We must also assist in carrying that message to industry and provide guidance on implementing these changes. The key to a successful implementation of change is education. I would work to bring the change to industry through Brown Bags, chapter level workshops and e-mails.v

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

Both business and security needs are evolving and to be value added, we must remain relevant. We must demonstrate and showcase Security Leadership where NCMS members have supplied value added solutions to complex security / business challenges and encourage our members to engage and guide business leaders.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS must share best practices so members can engage business leaders. We establish best practices for compliance early, support people to engage DSS Policy, as I’ve done successfully. We’re beyond where looking at the NISPOM and stating what it says is good enough; moreover, we must assist others with context, application and risk mitigation. Demonstrating security leadership is one effective strategy to do this.v

Glynn E. Davis, ISP®

NCMS Member since 2010

Glynn Davis is the Senior Manager of Corporate Security for Aerojet Rocketdyne headquartered in Sacramento, California. He is responsible for oversight and management of all Chemical Facility Antiterrorism Standards activities throughout the corporation to include the conducting of risk, vulnerability and threat assessments at all Aerojet Rocketdyne facilities and sites and the development of corporate security processes, plans and procedures.

He is also a Certified Protection Professional (CPP) and Industrial Security Professional (ISP®).

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

In order to survive as a society we must appeal to the next generation. First and foremost, we must attract new talent into our profession. We need to develop publicity programs that engage with students in their Junior and Senior years of high school. During their college years is when we should begin marketing to them for participation in the society as a member at a student discounted rate. Secondly, we must continue to be relevant. By this I mean keep current with societal and technological trends. The new generations are connected like never before, so we must continue to advance our social media presence, and stay one step ahead of technological advances to the best of our ability. Our new website is a perfect example of this, so we need to not rest on our laurels, and continue to automate as many functions as possible. Today’s youth is the key to our future existence and successes.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

I feel that it is our primary function as a society to help our members succeed. Our members are being inundated with new and changing government programs, which to me is an opportunity for our organization to excel. I see our role as the facilitator of program success. First, we must be the communications hub, by facilitating and translating government requirements. Second, we must assist our members by providing first class training opportunities. Lastly, we must help our members understand what’s going on in the field by capturing and disseminating lessons learned and best practices. I’m not saying we’re not doing this now, but we can always get better. In fact, we do education well, but as a board member I would push for more workshop activities to assist our members.v

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge? One challenge I see for NCMS is to grow our membership in related fields of security. We have a great organization and much to offer other security professionals. We need to demonstrate how we can bring value to them. We will have to invest more in marketing, but it will pay off in the long run. As a member of the Board, I would do my best to identify security-related professions that could benefit by membership in NCMS.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?

NCMS has an important part to play in future policy changes in our industry. As an organization, we need to be a steady ship in a sea of ever-changing policies and requirements. We can do that by providing the tools to our membership as well as the means to allow our members to collaborate among themselves and to partner with DSS. We do a great job at that now, and I am sure that will continue in the future. v

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

One challenge is maintaining effective communication between the membership and BoD. Effective communications and strong leadership are key elements for successful organizations. Evolving technology and the current state of affairs both nationally and internationally demand that leadership effectively listens to its membership to proactively support their needs. If elected, I will use my leadership and managerial skills to facilitate effective communications.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS is a key contributor in security policy changes, and contributions will increase in the future as partnership between Government and Industry evolves. NCMS is a premiere security training agency that provides an extensive tool repository to help security professionals do their jobs more effectively. As a BoD member, I would encourage continued implementation of new and enhanced tools to help security professionals improve both knowledge and performance.v

Darci Fisher, ISP®

NCMS Member since 2010

You have heard me during Brown Bags where I serve hundreds of you each week as a Lead Facilitator. Additionally, I have volunteered for seven years with the Lone Star Chapter and am currently in my third term as Chapter Chair. I take these jobs seriously and put great importance on not only providing a way to disseminate information but to create a way for feedback to flow back to the leadership. I want to hear the voice of each of my fellow members.

I am passionate in continuing to develop resources for special-interest working groups, like I have for the University audience, to create thriving communities for members. My

work includes coordinating special break-out sessions at the National Seminar and establishing the University Security Brown Bag Series.

Like many stories, I was thrust into an industrial security role without a clue of what that truly entailed. After years of hard work in facilities new and old, small and large, I run a successful security program only because of the effort, patience and dedication of fellow members that have given me the resources to thrive.

We all have a lot more to learn in this ever-changing profession and as I face new challenges, it’s my mission to guide others along with me. I am here to support my peers and continue to improve the community we have created. There is a lot of heart in NCMS and I have invested mine.

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

NCMS gives you as much as you put into it. Our greatest assets are our volunteers. I can’t solve the society’s challenges alone. I can be its champion. I am sure you have had conversations where people say, “That is a great idea, let me know how I can help” then nothing ever happens. It’d bring me great joy to set goals and prioritize tasks so that at the end of year we can say, “We did a lot of great things!”

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS needs to be a solution-creating entity. We have an opportunity to continue to embed ourselves as a pillar of our government partners’ outreach programs by providing an invested audience to elicit feedback in the early stages of policy implementation. The Board of Directors need to continuously promote how we can best utilize our membership, committees and tools to best affect these inevitable changes.v

Dr. Kevin Gamache, ISP®

NCMS Member since 2009

Dr. Kevin Gamache is Chief Research Security Officer and FSO for The Texas A&M University System, comprised of 11 universities and 7 state agencies. He manages the A&M System’s membership in the National Industrial Security Program and serves as the System’s focal point for all security-related matters involving DoD, DOE, and the Intelligence Community. The Texas A&M program received four consecutive SUPERIOR ratings on DSS SVAs, and a Cogswell Award in 2015.

Dr. Gamache joined The Texas A&M University System in 2008 after serving 24 years in the United States Air Force. His military career included a wide range of command, nuclear operations, maintenance, logistics, and counter proliferation assignments in Wyoming, Montana, Texas, and Washington D.C. He retired with the rank of Colonel. Dr. Gamache has been working in security-related positions his entire 30+ year professional career, and has held the FSO position for The Texas A&M University System for eight years. He has been a member of the NCMS

Lone Star Chapter since 2010. A leader in the academic security community, he established an affinity group of than 110 university FSOs and the Academic Counter Exploitation Program (ACEP), a Community of Interest for university FSOs hosted by the DHS Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN).

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

NCMS should recognize the organizational diversity in its members, and provide forums to meet the unique security needs of a broad range of organizations. For example, academia has over 180 schools in the NISP. With a culture of openness and information sharing, academia presents unique security challenges. NCMS could establish affinity groups specifically targeted at members with unique challenges where members could collaborate with others in like groups. That opportunity doesn’t exist today.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS is my go-to source for information on the wide range of programs a security professional must master. As a professional society, NCMS is uniquely positioned to provide input when policy is being developed and information to its members once that policy is implemented. While NCMS already utilizes many of the emerging social media forums, opportunity exist to improve the effectiveness of these tools. I have the expertise to help push the use of social media to new levels of effectiveness within NCMS.v

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that chal-lenge?”

Government changes in policies to address current threats create gaps in knowledge, training and how it is applied to varied security environments. The NCMS Board of Directors will need to address these gaps through a deeper understanding and utilization of the membership and government agencies to help create specified training outlines.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

I have witnessed our partnership with the government influence change in policy. These partnerships allowed NCMS to have a seat at the table to discuss effects of that change or implementation of policy and the potential impacts throughout industry. It is during these discussions that all parties were able to garner a mutual understand-ing of the impacts from a government and industry perspective and drive change through an all-encompassing ap-proach. v

Kaila Henderson, ISP®

NCMS Member since 2010

Kaila Henderson currently serves as the Corporate Security Manager and Facility Security Officer for Novetta, Inc., a data analytics company located in McLean, VA. Kaila is a graduate of The Ohio State University and has been working in multiple areas of industrial security for 11+ years. Her career began at SAIC where she was part of a security team supporting a AA category facility. As she puts it “There was no better place to get your feet wet.” Here she supported as personnel security, document control, and as an FSO managing her own CAGE code. While there, she was exposed to a multitude of situations that helped prepare her for her next role with Novetta, Inc.

At Novetta, Inc., Kaila is responsible for managing security requirements for multiple legacy companies to enable them to perform as one cohesive security program.

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

One challenge with a growing NCMS may be providing that personal feeling to all of its members. As organizations grow, people can feel lost in the shuffle. As a Board Member, I want to help our members know they always have a support system to assist in their tasks. Ensuring all members are aware of the mentor program, the Q&A page, the resources uploaded, and the ability to reach out to their fellow members is important.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

The best part of my job is helping individuals perform their job better, and NCMS is a fantastic resource. NCMS provides the ability to speak with government customers to express concerns we have as an industry partner in order for us to run an effective and efficient security program. The information received could then be incorporated into brown bag topics, newsletters, or emails/meetings relayed by the local chapters.v

Ralph W. Hutchins, ISP®

NCMS Member since 2009

I am a senior security specialist with 30 years of experience working with DoD and various IC clients. I am currently employed as the Facility Security Officer for Battelle Memorial Institute in the Charlottesville Virginia Facility where I am responsible for all facets of Security ensuring compliance with the NISP.

Over the past eight years, Battelle has earned a superior rating from the Defense Security Service and was the recipient of the Cogswell Award in 2015. I am a certified Industrial Security Professional (ISP®)

I spent six years in the U.S. Army, four years on active duty and two years with the Army National Guard. While part of the 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard), I provided support to the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

I have been member of the NCMS Central Virginia Chapter since its formation in 2010 and in addition to being a founding member, I served two terms as the Chapter Chairperson along with currently serving as the Vice Chair. I earned my ISP® from NCMS in 2010.

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

The main challenges I believe NCMS will face as we continue to grow is keeping our member actively engaged within the organization. As a Board member I, would look to members that may have a particular expertise on a topic and have them as a presenter during the annual National Conference. We as an organization could accomplish this by putting out a call for speakers during the planning phase of the Conference.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS as an organization should have a significant and highly visible role within the NISP policy making arena. By being a significant member in the policy making process, NCMS as an organization would be better positioned to disseminate ongoing changes to our member, which would give them the tools to better support their organizations and maintain NISP compliance. v

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

With the constant change to tactics employed by malicious actors, government contractors need to keep abreast of the latest technology and current requirements set forth. As a board member, I would strive to continue to foster the partnership between industry and government to ensure that information continues to be shared. Best practices and templates are also readily available to ensure everyone’s ability to not only meet the requirements but protect the information entrusted to us.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS is a vehicle that government can use to facilitate getting information out to industry for feedback, as this helps with understanding the challenges industry faces. As a board member, I would help members meet these challenges by continuing to pursue various avenues of training, awareness, and best practices. Also, I would explore other avenues of continued collaboration such as pairing with other professional societies.v

He have served as a CPSO, CSSO, Corporate ISSM, Corporate FSO, and he is currently serving as the Director of Corporate Security and Export Compliance for Dynetics. He has been in the Huntsville, Alabama community since May 2003.

Paul has been a member of NCMS since 2007. As a new ISSM, NCMS offered security tools, education and networking opportunities that were critical to his new career. As his knowledge of industrial security and his career transitioned from ISSM to FSO, Paul felt it was important to share what he had learned from his mentors with others.

Stan Miller, Charles Talley, & Paulette Hamblin all played significant roles in Paul’s career and involvement with NCMS. He served the Mid-South Chapter on ISSC in 2007, as Secretary 2007-2009, as Vice Chair 2010-2012, and as Chair 2013-2016.

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

Growing an organization and its impact in any organization is hard but I think it is even harder in NCMS based on many factors. I see the desire to grow to be at odds at times with the need to help those members and chapters in more isolated locations with the appropriate resources and help that is needed. As an organization, there has been a great effort to improve this challenge by the new tools and programs we have today. As a member of the board, I would continue to look for ways to help new chapters or struggling chapters be successful through the use of tools and training as we continue to grow as a society. I will always work to bring value and highly quality to our members.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

Things are continuing to change at a rapid rate in Industrial Security due to the threats we are facing as companies and as a country, so the need to maneuver through the difficulties of incorporating new policies into our security programs will not be going away any time soon. It is imperative that security professionals stay informed and remain current on the ever-changing requirements and standards. Members will continue to need tools, resources, and new methods to help them manage the ever-changing security landscape of new policies and their impact along with staying informed and operating more efficiently. NCMS has an active role in shaping future policies and should use our collective voice to ensure common sense and practicality is applied with new policy changes. As a member of the Board, I would continue to engage and recruit member participation, input, and feedback to help them with the current toolset and look to develop new ideas, create or find new tools, and provide training on the tools to help them achieve success in their security programs. v

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that chal-lenge?”

The increasing annual cost associated with membership and participation in the annual seminar. As a Board Mem-ber I would ask NCMS be open and transparent with the process used to determine the cost of the annual member-ship and seminar and explore opportunities to reduce/maintain the current costs. Additionally, I would ask that NCMS post the cost break down for each to assist members in seeing where the fees are going.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS needs to work closely with other Industry professional groups such as AIA/NDIA and ISWG to ensure a consistent message is delivered to the Government. To further advance the implementation of policy changes NCMS needs to assist the members with the creation of templates and boilerplates for new policies and databases that can be available on the NCMS website for local program execution.v

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

NCMS is a unique organization that continues to evolve and mature into a top notch educational minded institute. Organizations with many facets of learning usually face various challenges and levels of operational difficulty. Regardless of what the challenge or difficulty is, the one critical success factor that stands out is the leadership’s effectiveness in addressing them. I plan to address each challenge immediately with a positive attitude and lead by example by keeping the best interest of our membership in mind. I will also ensure the Board of Directors remains focused on the needs of our membership’s unique challenges and provides the tools needed to solve those challenges.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS will continue to be the voice of the industry and ensure members are equipped with the tools needed to address the various challenges we are all facing. I am a strong proponent of education and believe that NCMS offers the BEST security education from a contractor and government perspective so that our membership is able to fully digest the policy and obtain best solutions. I would continue to work closely with our partners in the government agencies to provide input from the industry to alleviate concerns and ensure our membership is never ‘starving’ for information or stuck in a hole they cannot climb from because we are all one team.v

NCMS as an organization continues to grow. Every organization faces challenges. “What is a challenge that you see NCMS encountering now or in the future and as a Board Member, how would you address that challenge?”

A challenge I often encounter is getting people to participate in NCMS activities and working groups. I think we can address the challenge by having more meetings telephonically or via WebEx. Many companies have limited travel funds, and having net meetings or telecom meetings will reduce travel cost. Hopefully, companies will be more likely to support involvement if the FSO can participate remotely.

NCMS members are now confronted with the difficult task of incorporating many new policies into their security programs; for example, Insider Threat, Risk Management Framework, and DISS to name a few. “What role do you see NCMS playing in future policy changes and how would you, as a Board Member help equip members with the tools they need to address these challenges?”

NCMS will continue participating with our government partners to address new policies, procedures, and new systems. As a board member I will ensure my committee is engaged with the government to assist in establishing new policy, and the development of training for systems pertaining to security programs. I will work with NCMS committee members in creating training modules for NCMSU to address member questions.v
