That is a great list. I am looking to join a ISC2 chapter, but my local area does not have one. Are we allowed to join chapters remotely?

IEEE Computer Society, Antenna and Radio Propagation Society and Communications Society.

Have only been a member for a few months, and don't know other local members yet, but the online resources alone are amazing. It's like discovering Google for the first time. All kinds of books and articles on stuff like SONET ring, SDH, SS7, acoustics, 4GLTE and 5G wireless, stuff like that. Computer Society members also get free access to the SkillSoft library for cert training. It's a bit overwhelming, but if I can learn to focus, will teach me way more than I learned in college.

Infragard is a good one. Takes awhile to get approved.

This, along with joining my region's Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force (ECTF) have both provided me with access to some pretty neat guest speakers and whatnot. Definitely cool.

I'm with Infragard and our local ISACA chapter. I guess you could include FS-ISAC as well.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had no idea.
