About ISACA-CMC

ISACA-CMC is a sponsor of local educational seminars, workshops, monthly training events and networking opportunities. Our goal is to help further promote and elevate the visibility of the IS audit, control and security profession throughout Maryland through robust chapter activities and teachings.

During its fiscal years July 1st to June 30th, ISACA-CMC offers a monthly training event with 3 to 7 CPEs from September to May and two multi-day seminars during the spring and fall seasons. Unless otherwise stated, member prices for these training events are available for all ISACA, and local ISSA, AGA, IIA, and CFE members. In addition, retired members and full-time students qualify for reduced prices.
ISACA-CMC is a resource that enhances member skills, expands their professional knowledge, and connects them with a vibrant community of peers for vast networking exposure.
