Welcome to the third 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. The first volume got some good reviews from the readers and from some of the directors of the professional associations. I have highlighted this in the next section of this e-Newsletter.

The new groups are: APSEI - La Asociación de Profesionales en Sistemas Electrónicos de Información AIIM - The Enterprise Content Management Association , Puerto Rico Chapter PRPASS - Puerto Rico Professional Association of SQL Server 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.
