Action Items

Dan - to contact InfoVison regarding upcoming Corporate Renewel

Kate - to contact HP regarding upcoming Corporate Renewel

Kate - to get Sales force running by Q2 so chapter leaders can also help drive membership renewal

Seba - Need to update language for education members on website. Current requirement for "meeting space 2 times per year" and including owasp in the curriculum, is too strict. Also want language to be open to easily apply to 2 and 4 degree programs.

Kate - Will update OWASP Top 10 to distinguish financial sponsors from sponsors contributing material
