The mission of the InfraGard Cincinnati Members Alliance is to increase the security of the United States’ national infrastructure through information exchange, education, outreach, and similar efforts.
To accomplish our goal, we strive to maintain a close working relationship between federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security, law enforcement agencies, subject matter experts such as cybersecurity and physical security professionals, industry-specific experts, and numerous other professionals.
The InfraGard Cincinnati Members Alliance meets bi-monthly to discuss matters of national security, to help protect critical infrastructure in the homeland and specifically in Greater Cincinnati. Our members typically work within one of the sixteen sectors of critical infrastructure.
The Board meets the 2nd Tuesday of every odd-numbered quarter and the Board and Leadership meets the 2nd Tuesday of every even-numbered quarter.
