Speakers
Mr. Nelson Tomlinson, Associate Director of Enterprise Risk and Compliance, at
TSYS was the guest speaker at Shaw's September FBLA meeting. His topic was
"Data Security in a Dangerous World--Identity Theft."
Mr. Tomlinson gave students many tips on protecting their identity and other
personal information and documents that identity thieves would need in order to
damage their credit history.
Students were given an opportunity to ask questions and were given computer
sites they could use to complete further research on the topic.
