It is with great pleasure and anticipation that I announce a return to in-person chapter meetings.  After two years of the pandemic and 6 months of communication issues due to the disruption of the InfraGard Portal, the Board is excited to get beyond those challenges and meet with you face to face once again.  Through these challenges, we have been working diligently with the FBI and InfraGard National Members Alliance to get our members through the recertification process and resume communications through various channels.  As part of that effort, I would like to direct you to our Chapter’s new website at https://InfraGardKY.org.  This website will serve as a conduit for information regarding chapter meetings, public alerts, and events related to the mission of InfraGard, our chapter, and our partners.  

The next order of business is to resume chapter meetings, the first of which will be held Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at the Kentucky Electric Cooperative, 1630 Lyndon Farm Court, Louisville, KY 40223.  Take the elevator to the second floor.  Guest speakers include Kevin Gardner from the University of Louisville Cyber Center and FBI Special Agent Blaine Wetzel.  Following our guest’s presentations, we will hold a chapter business meeting.  Doors open and registration begins at 8 AM with the Welcome at 8:30.  A meeting agenda is attached.

While the InfraGard Portal remains inaccessible until the completion of the recertification process, please refer to the chapter website for the latest information regarding the chapter and current events.  Any urgent news will be distributed through an InfraGard email blast going forward.

On behalf of the IKMA Board of Directors, we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Jim Eastridge – IKMA President
