I am responding to the comment concerning the lack of an individual
to take personal responsibility for their education, because a
professional organization will mandate the specific courses that are
necessary.

The best way to ensure that the professional CIPS bodies never get
out of touch with their membership is to get involved.  Comparing us
to school boards is too much of a stretch for me.  Clearly, if one
never goes to PTA meetings or to school board meetings, then the
opportunity to influence decisions is greatly reduced.  It is always
easier to join the silent majority.

As a IT professional, I trust individuals will actively want to
influence the decisions and activities of their professional
association.  I know I plan to take an active role.
