While I think the CitySec idea is excellent, I just wanted to point out that my ISSA chapter has no local dues, forbids sales pitches in chapter-sponsored communications, has no vendor sponsorships, and uses member-provided content for a large majority of our presentations. If folks are dissatisfied with their local ISSA, I recommend they get involved and kick the vendors out — or otherwise solve the problem, instead of abandoning it.

I assume you’ve heard of Agora? That’s pretty much the local ‘sec group here in the NW.

Back in 2001 a bunch of folks out in Silicon Valley formed BARF (Bay Area Regional FIRST). They get together once a month for dinner and BSing. Thre are no dues and you don’t have to be a member of FIRST, the idea of it was just spawned at a FIRST conference.
