NEW GLOBAL COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

OWASP recognized the extraordinary contribution of our most active leaders by engaging them to lead a set of seven new committees that report to the OWASP Board of Directors. Each committee will focus on a key function or geographic regional issues such as OWASP projects, conferences, local chapters, membership and industry outreach. [http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Chapter#Local_Chapters Local Chapters[ that require guidance, assistance or clarrification should work with the appropriate team.
