Our Spring Gala Benefits Cyber Industry Organizations with a Donation Drawing

A special drawing will be held for supporting our local non-profit Women in Cybersecurity and Minnesota Military Cyber Professionals

WiCys Minnesota

The Minnesota Chapter of Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS), the only non-profit membership organization with a national reach that is dedicated to bringing together women in cybersecurity from academia, research and industry to share knowledge, experience, networking and mentoring. WiCyS helps build a strong cybersecurity workforce with gender equality by facilitating recruitment, retention and advancement for women in the field. The initiative was created through an NSF grant (Award #1303441) by Dr. Ambareen Siraj at Tennessee Tech University six years ago, and has grown into a wonderful alliance among academia, government and industry.

Minnesota Military Cyber Professionals

The Military Cyber Professionals Association (MCPA) is the byproduct of graduate research into innovation at the Naval Postgraduate School in California, funded by the US Army Cyber Command. After beginning operations in 2013, the Association spread by word of mouth and press coverage of events. The MCPA-Minnesota Chapter’s mission is to promote regional STEM education as an extension of MCPA national, and to provide a Midwest venue for MCPA members to meet, network, and advance the initiatives of the organization.
