Requirements
Sponsors of (ISC)2 Baltimore Chapter must agree to and comply with the following conditions. All sponsorships are subject to the (ISC)2 Baltimore Chapter Board of Directors (BOD) approval. This program only applies to the (ISC)2 Baltimore Chapter, and provides no benefits at (ISC)2 or to direct benefits at other (ISC)2 regional chapters.
-
All sponsorships must comply with the (ISC)2 Baltimore Chapter mission.
-
(ISC)2 Baltimore Chapter also has a “non-aggressive” marketing policy. Our membership is unique and attends (ISC)2 Baltimore Chapter events regularly primarily because we have established this type of environment for education, information, and professional networking. Our membership strongly resists aggressive marketing tactics and obvious “sales-pitches.” We have found that the non-aggressive approach provides much better results and ultimately benefit the sponsor and the membership at large. (ISC)2 Baltimore Chapter actively enforces this policy.
-
“Negative campaigning” against competitors is neither welcome nor permitted. The aim of the sponsor (ISC)2 Baltimore Chapter affiliation is to foster a professional atmosphere among (ISC)2 Baltimore Chapter members and interested parties with the intention of enhancing member recruitment and retention.
-
The affiliation should focus on improving the professional knowledge of information security practitioners
