Lodging Opportunities
November is a busy month in Tampa Bay. While there are lodging options within one mile of the Vaughn Center, pricing can be at a premium due to limited availability as the conference dates approach.
For those who prefer accommodations within walking distance, we recommend booking at the Barrymore Hotel to take advantage of our special group rate. Otherwise, we encourage that you book your preferred Downtown Tampa hotel as soon as possible. Alternatively, the Westshore area, just an 11-minute drive from the Vaughn Center, offers a variety of reasonably priced hotels with greater availability.

We are seeking both experienced writers and editors, as well as passionate readers of the Journal. Our goal is to maintain a high standard of excellence while keeping the content relevant and engaging for our community.
If you have not received an invitation and would like to participate, please email Andrew at abelon@thecolloquium.org.
Nominations
We are pleased to announce the commencement of the Board nominations process and the submission period for CISSE's Annual Awards. We encourage all members to participate by nominating deserving candidates and submitting entries for consideration. This is a unique opportunity to acknowledge the exceptional work within our community and to celebrate the individuals who have made significant impacts in their respective fields.
Annual Awards
CISSE is proud to be the first professional organization to formally acknowledge our peers across academia, government, and industry. We are pleased to announce the call for nominations for our 2024 Annual Awards, to be presented at the 28th Colloquium. This is an opportunity to nominate an individual who is influential on the national stage in cybersecurity education. Please ensure that your nominee's accomplishments reflect a significant national impact in the field.
Academic Leadership Award
The Colloquium awards the Academic Leader of the Year Award to an educator whose actions have distinguished them from among their peers. This individual is a person who goes above and beyond helping their students to academic success, while positively impacting the educational community nationally, and in some cases internationally.
Governmental Leadership Award
The Colloquium awards this to the Governmental Agency, Government Representative or Employee that has distinguished themselves above normal expectations in working with the Cyber Security Educational community.
Industry Leadership Award
The Colloquium awards this to a Corporation, or Business professional who has distinguished themselves above their peers in both leadership within the field and their efforts measurably supporting Cyber Security Education.
Board of Directors
The Colloquium's annual Board of Directors election has two positions open for re-election. The Colloquium™ is a volunteer-led and governed non-profit entity. If you are interested in running for a three-year term on the Board, please review the following description of duties and responsibilities.
Please note: this is a working Board with regular meetings and monthly obligations.
Board members are expected to attend two regular virtual meetings per year, one in June and immediately following the conference in November. In the meetings we hear reports of officers and committees and act on proposals submitted in advance. However, most of our work is done in committees between meetings. Directors are expected to serve on one more committee. Committees collaborate electronically (telephone, e-mail, shared cloud, etc.) and Directors can expect to spend several hours per month on Colloquium business. This will include preparing for meetings by reviewing the contents of the meeting folder (call of the meeting, agenda, minutes of the previous meeting, reports, proposals) and publishing their reports and proposals in advance.
With the assistance of the officers and an audit committee, Directors are expected to conserve the assets of The Colloquium™ and plan, authorize, and review expenditures. While they are ethically responsible to the constituents or members, Directors are protected from financial liability by customary Officers and Directors Insurance. Directors may be authorized from time to time to speak for or otherwise represent The Colloquium™, but they are expected to preserve the confidentiality of the Board necessary to its deliberations. Directors are expected to avoid any potential conflict of interest and may be asked to sign an agreement that clarifies this.
