Chairman's Message
Dear Chapter Members:
Kevin Swindon, Supervisory Special Agent in the FBI’sBoston office, kept our September meeting attendees rivetedwith his discussion of the cyber crime threat. SA Swindonleads the Cyber / Cart units and successfully tailored hisremarks so even the “computer challenged” among us couldkeep up. Swindon emphasized the Triple Crown of cyber protection: staying current with operating system and appli-cations patches, anti-virus and firewall protection, and good
security policy. All three are critical and can make a significant impact on your net-work security considering that 80% of non-targeted attacks use known OS and appli-cation vulnerabilities. SA Swindon also spoke briefly about Infragard, a government /private sector alliance with 800 members in the Boston area.
I hope you will join us for our luncheon meeting at the UMass Club on October 22.Bob Bragdon, Publisher of CSO Magazine will offer his insights on the securityimpacts of social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). If you haven’t been to ameeting in a while, this is the one to make. Reconnect with old friends and meet thenew faces that have joined our chapter over the summer.
We do have contested races for a couple of chapter offices. Look for your ballotssoon and please take time to give careful consideration to next year’s leadership. Ihope you will also consider stepping up to volunteer on one of our committees in2010. The Chapter needs you.
See you on October 22.
Craig

Legislative Updater www.mass.gov
July 1, 2009 Pension Reform Bill becomes law
On June 16, 2009, the Governor signed Chapter 21 of the Acts of 2009, An Act Providing Responsible Reformsin the Pension System (the Act), which had been approved unanimously in the House and the Senate.
While this legislation addresses a number of issues affecting the administration of benefits across theCommonwealth’s 106 public retirement systems, its most significant impact for MTRS members is in itsamendments to the definition of regular compensation.
The amended definition of regular compensation is intended to provide increased transparency, predictability,and uniformity in the calculation and determination of retirement benefits. In brief, the amendment:o excludes indirect payments, in-kind payments, or any payments for such items as housing, lodging,travel, annuities, life or disability insurance premiums or other retirement benefits, and o transitions the application of the amended definition by “grandfathering” certain existing contract provi-sions. Specifically, the Act allows members to include the provisions in their contracts that were deemed regu-lar compensation as of May 1, 2009, and allows those provisions to continue to be deemed regular compen-sation for the term of that contract, but in no event later than July 1, 2012. However, this provision does notallow a member to add or increase any amounts to those that were in effect on May 1, 2009.
The MTRS will be updating our regulations as necessary and working with the Public Employee RetirementAdministration Commission (PERAC) to implement the provisions of the new law.

October is Crime Prevention Month Joseph Green, MGH In 1984 the month of October was designated as the Crime Prevention Month. This month-long celebration is geared to recognize successful crime prevention efforts on the local, state, and nation levels. It is hoped that the recognition will build
enthusiasm and continue the interest in prevention efforts. October is the perfect time, for your organization to access if they are being proactive with you crime prevention activities. Do we as an Organization:
G ive quick coffee break / Department Meetings giving advice to others on how to prevent crime?
P e r f o r m penetration audits on areas you deem high risk? G ive crime bite type awards to others outside your organization that help
prevent crimes? W ould an anonymous "tip line" assist your organization in preventing
crime? Do you assist others in securing equipment using new technologies? M onitor crime trends both in your organization and its surrounding
neighborhood? The benefits of crime prevention are not only that you decrease the opportunity for crime by building awareness; you also get a tangible demonstration of how important your community is to you.

Thrown into the Driver's Seat
On June 29, 1863, a 23 year old First Lieutenant received an unexpected promotion. Thefreckle faced, strawberry blonde, who graduated at the bottom of his class at West Point,was elevated directly to the rank of Brigadier General in the Union Army. He completelyskipped over the traditional ranks in between of Captain, Major, and Colonel. As you canimagine such a promotion was met with skepticism, dismay, and envy by his former peersand superiors. Especially at a time when the South was winning against the North during the American Civil War.
Major General Alfred Pleasonton, who promoted the boy, saw his gamble put to the test justfour days later in the Battle of Gettysburg. The young general was put in charge of the Michigan Cavalry andtasked with keeping Confederate General Jeb Stuart from attacking the Union Army’s rear.
Was he up to the task? Could he keep that dubious star on his shoulder that so many wanted removed? Motivatedby the desire to prove himself, George Armstrong Custer, his gleaming saber outstretched in front of him, led thecavalry charge and held the Union line. His successful leadership served as a crucial contribution to the battle thatwas the turning point in the North winning the war.
When leadership is thrust upon us, many of us are motivated to rise to the occasion. Sometimes, however, leader-ship must rise in a vacuum. What motivates us to become leaders when there are none?
A few years ago, five friends and I went white water rafting for the very first time. We went on the upper OcoeeRiver in Tennessee where the rapids are rated Class Four. Not exactly the best choice for beginners, but we had acompetent guide, who gave us plenty of instructions on when and how to paddle. He was so good that we werethe only rafters in a group of ten rafts that did not capsize and get soaked.
Then halfway through our trip, we went over a small waterfall. When our rubber raft hit the bottom it bent in themiddle and folded up like a book. When it sprung back apart our guide was catapulted from the boat and landedseveral feet behind us. As our leaderless raft sped forward, getting further and further away from our guide, five ofus thought, “Uh, oh, what are we going to do!” Before we could panic, my friend Bill started barking commands,“Left side four strokes! Right side two strokes!” With great relief we followed his orders and within minutes he hadus safely out of the rushing white water and into the calmer water by the river bank where our guide was able tocatch up to us.
A leadership role can jump start motivation. When you have the responsibility of guiding others, it forces you toguide yourself first. I have found that volunteering for leadership roles at work and for non-profit organizations tobe self-motivating. Back in the early 1990's, I had a particularly bad year. My mother passed away, a business venture failed, and I had a falling out with my best friend. Needless to say, I was in a funk, and seriously neededsomething to move me out it. That’s when I learned that my community association needed a new President. Itwas a huge job with a two year commitment that required fund raising, event planning, managing several commit-tees, and supervising dozens of volunteers. It consumed tons of my time, but it also taught me that I could domore in a day than I ever knew. During that same two year period, I launched two new businesses both of whichbecame success stories.
As a manager, you can motivate your employees (or your volunteers) by giving them a mantle of leadership.Suddenly he or she will no longer be just another disaffected cog in the wheel. But with a position of responsibility,those persons will be empowered to do more and be more. Sure, it may require a greater effort on your part, butyou will challenge their minds, expand their abilities, and imbue them with a sense of accomplishment.
