Board of Directors

The International Organization for Secure Commerce Board of Directors is made up of professionals with extensive and complimentary backgrounds in various areas of secure commerce and supply chain security.  No member has less than 20 years experience in their field, with some members having 30 years or more in their industry.  Our Board serves the organization without compensation, as volunteers dedicated to the advancement and spread of secure commerce as a business improvement process.

The Board of Directors has three main tasks: Oversight, contribution and outreach.  The oversight function involves development and approval of the strategic and operational plans for the organization, reviewing the finances, and making sure the organization lives up to its own high standards.  By contributing to the development of our standards, educational curriculum and certification requirements, the Directors help to continually improve our programs.  Finally, by acting as ambassadors, the Board helps to inform the professional community about our organization and its goals, ultimately increasing our membership.   

The IOSC Board of Directors, currently with 7 members, consists of the following individuals:

Nelson Calzadilla, President
David Panko, Vice President
Wayne Massey, Treasurer
Kathleen Neal, Secretary
Andrew Neal, Executive Director
James Karol, Director
