I am a former board member of LACASIS&T (2016-2018). Having been a student board member for the UCLA chapter, I started as a volunteer for the Los Angeles Chapter of ASIS&T and then quickly graduated to board secretary. We focused on outreach and planning learning/networking events for students and faculty of local universities.
