Program Managers Tutorial (Separate Registration Required)
This year we will once again offer our Program Manager’s Tutorial. The program requires a few hours each day of the conference week and there is no additional cost to participate in this activity. Based on the IOSS Associates Program, it is intended to provide an opportunity for program managers to work with IOSS staff mentors to develop materials they will use in their own organization’s OPSEC programs. Participants who complete the tutorial will receive a CD of special briefings and other materials to assist with their OPSEC program manager responsibilities.
For those interested in participating in the Program Manager's Tutorial pre-registration is required via this link.

The 2010 National OPSEC Awards will be presented during a cermony on Tuesday 4 May. For more information on the awards program call the IOSS at (443) 479-4733.
