Geoff French, a founding member of SARMA who served previously as its director and treasurer, will now take up the position of chairman of SARMA's Publications Committee. Mr. French is the analytic director for security risk at CENTRA Technology, Inc.

A prolific author and speaker, Mr. French has written a number of papers on threat and risk assessment, including "Threat-Based Approach to Risk," presented to the Naval Postgraduate School's Center for Homeland Defense and Security in June 2008. Julian Talbot, a senior consultant with Australia-based Jakeman Business Solutions, will serve as chairman of SARMA's International Affairs Committee. Mr. Talbot has 25 years of international risk management experience, including security risk management planning and enterprise risk assessments for a variety of government, private sector and community organizations.
