We are trying to make sure that we spread the word all across our great state about the InfraGard and security related events and happenings that might be of interest to our membership. InfraGard members are welcome at any InfraGard chapter event across the state. We encourage you to bring a friend and help our organizations grow. We try to plan for meals for our attendees, so if you RSVP, please attend or provide us with adequate cancellation notice, as it ends up costing us for meals not used.
