Other items of note ? The national board (technically the INMA, or InfraGard National Members Alliance)is looking for nominations for their board of directors by April 3. While these nominations typically are made from within the existing state board ranks, this is an opportunity for you to voice to state board members the people and issues that you want to have covered at the national level. It is also a motivator to those that have not gotten involved with Michigan’s advisory board to do so and to consider the opportunity of further involvement at a national level in the future.
