I spend an exciting day in Austin yesterday (Saturday, June 10th) doing strategic planning with the 
CITP Credential Committee. Members joining me (I chair the committee) were Chris Fraser, Kevin Martin, Bryan Smith, Ilene Eisen, and Jim Bourke. Our committee was joined by Ruth Richter, a consultant from Covergence Coaching who has been our "staff liaison" during the AICPA's move to Durham, Nancy Cohen, veteran AICPA staffer who is making the move to Durham and has assumed responsibility for our committee, Steve Winters, soon-to-be Director of Membership Areas and Credentials, and Ken Askelson, who serves as a Commissioner on the National Accreditation Commission.
We had a lot of good news to share ---- our CITP count is at 817, a 21% increase in under a year. The better news is that the applications are coming in even faster since our agreement with ISACA. And the best news is that we've just released a new TWO PAGE application form. [Hint: It's SO simple that even Dave Bergstein can complete it!!] Here's a link to it. http://infotech.aicpa.org/NR/rdonlyres/0EE21F76-40E2-44E5-81DC-296D7BEB3CCF/0/9593378CITP_LIVEAP.pdf
It's HOT in Austin (nearly 100 degrees today) and we're looking forward to a great time here at TECH2006.
