October Dinner Meeting: Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification

Join NCMA DC on Wednesday, October 16 at the Holiday Inn Capitol for our monthly dinner meeting. Our focus for October will be cybersecurity, specifically the Department of Defense's development of a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). The CMMC is intended to serve as a verification mechanism to ensure appropriate levels of cybersecurity controls and processes are adequate and in place to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) that resides on the Department’s industry partners’ networks.

Our speaker for the evening will be Katherine “Katie” Arrington (Invited). Katie is currently the Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition for Cyber. As the cyber lead and programmatic analytic advisor for strategic cyber programs, Ms. Arrington is responsible for conducting analysis within the major defense acquisition program portfolio and across the Department of Defense.

The evening will kickoff with a networking happy hour from 5:30-6:30 pm. Dinner will be served at 6:30, and Ms. Arrington will speak starting at 7:30 p.m. Early bird pricing is available to those who register by Friday, October 4. We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you there!
