Beginning January 1, 2024, the Greater Pittsburgh CIO and CISO Groups will begin a new chapter in their long and successful history. The Advisory Boards of each group met over the past 2-3 months and determined it was necessary to reestablish the Charter / Purpose in order to meet the needs of today's IT executives. We are moving toward a more organized and member run operating model that will increase the group's usefulness and participation. A complete year of meeting dates and events will be published by mid-December 2023 with each meeting's agenda having input from the participating members.
To kick-off the re-launch of the CIO and CISO Groups, we are requiring all past, present and future members to reapply for membership so that we are reaching out to the people who are most interested in keeping these valuable networks prospering in the future.
Below are the links to the CIO and CISO membership forms - please apply by December 1, 2023 to be included in the 2024 communications:
Our Purpose:
The Greater Pittsburgh CIO Group (“CIO Group”) was established to connect technology leaders from various organizations in the region and establish a forum to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices in the field of information technology. The forum aids to foster networking, learning, and innovation, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of IT within the participating organizations.
Our Objectives:
Membership:
To be considered for membership, candidates must represent an entity in the surrounding Pittsburgh Region (Central Ohio, West Virginia, Central PA). Representatives from divisions of national or international companies with a significant local presence are also eligible for membership. Vendor membership will be limited to internal positions that support the company. Membership is limited to the most senior individual in charge of technology for the organization, or autonomous division, regardless of actual title (e.g., CIO, CISO, CTO, Director of Information Systems, Director Cybersecurity etc.). Prospective members must demonstrate a genuine interest in knowledge sharing, active participation, and service to the Greater Pittsburgh IT community. The number of members may be limited to ensure effective participation and meaningful interaction.
Members must attend 50% of the scheduled meetings/events to stay active.
Key Activities and Events:
The CIO and CISO Groups will meet bi-monthly at rotating locations based on active members. Members are encouraged to host a meeting as part of the rotation. Every other meeting will be followed by a networking event, initiated by the hosting member. The purpose of these meetings is decision making/any business relative to the charter, and knowledge sharing. Meetings may include presentations by members, guest speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and roundtable discussions. In addition to the six yearly meetings, the CIO and CISO Groups will sponsor the following activities:
