Welcome to the first edition of Info-Governance, an e-newsletter dedicated to and addressing the concerns of all professionals in Puerto Rico that work or have an interest in information technology, governance, security, and IT audit. I have developed this newsletter so that these professionals can have a forum to be kept informed of current technology issues. It will also provide certified professionals, such as, CISAs, CISMs, CIAs, CFEs, PMIs, and CPAs, among others, with a list of professional organizations whose activities can be used for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. As with all publications, reader feedback is important to keep the e-newsletter on target and addressing the needs of its subscribers - I wholeheartedly request that feedback. Please send all suggestions, comments, and constructive criticism to jrobles@coqui.net or visit www.johnrrobles.com. |
