Approaching retirement from USPS IT at the age of 65, I personally am
not looking for anything else. The sudden departure of the previous
Technical Director just before the dismal cut-over in April, plus the
non-effective response over the ensuing two months has prompted many to
have the same viewpoint. To change a "not ready for primetime" into a
well oiled machine is going to need people who are not touchy-feely and
more JFDI. Just saying the quiet part out load with a NYC spin on it.

Hi. I have been a volunteer on the ARDC TAC since
January 2023. My
background and work experience is Scotiabank, Deloitte, KPMG, RSA,
Cisco, and CrowdStrike. I have had roles as a Digital Forensics
Investigator all the way up to Director in Engineering leading large
teams with multi-million dollar budgets. I have also led teams in
Engineering security tools, procedure and process for NFL Superbowl,
Paris 2024 Olympics as well as numerous high profile breaches and
investigations. In short, I am and will always work for Fortune 500.
ARDC does value my corporate experience.
However, someone with nonprofit experience, usually has a more unique
perspective on their role. I have family members that have worked or
been elected in various levels of government and served on many
committees in various capacities. They are often faced with working in
environments where being resourceful, innovative and devising creative
solutions to complex problems without relying on extensive budgets and
resources that a corporate environment would have. Additionally, there
is usually more of a community or social impact of the community or
group that the non-profit serves. That offers a sense of personal
fulfillment and social impact that you don't usually get with a
corporate gig.
If you are interested in the role, and feel you could make a difference
at the ARDC with our many technical projects, I encourage you to apply.
Regards,
Ian.

In other words, if you come from a corporate background then don't
bother.
The last few months have shown us that they absolutely need corporate
experience!
