Committee Updates

Thank you to all ISC2 members who participated in the 2025 Board of Directors election. Voting took place from July 9 to July 23, and we are pleased to announce the newly elected members who will serve on the Board for the 2026–2028 term: 

  • Laurie-Anne Bourdain, CISSP (Belgium)
  • Chitra Dharmarajan, CISSP, CCSP (United States)
  • Mari Galloway, CISSP (United States)
  • David Mussington, CISSP (United States)

These four individuals were elected by ISC2 members from a slate of five candidates endorsed by the current Board of Directors. We thank all candidates for their dedication to the cybersecurity profession and commitment to serving the ISC2 community.

The election followed a thorough nominations process. The 2025 Open Call for Nominations concluded with 192 applicants who met the basic eligibility criteria. After review against the published Board job description, the Nominations Committee selected 10 individuals for interviews. Following interviews conducted in late March, the Board approved a final slate of five candidates for election. 

We appreciate the continued engagement of our members in shaping the future of ISC2 through participation in the Board election.
