We do have an ongoing relationship with the ONDCP, whose Lieutenant Colonel Edward Croft have supported the efforts of the club in educating our members about mitigating against financial crimes and other cyber activities. We hope that this donation will go a long way in protecting the management and staff against the dreaded COVID-19 disease”, she said.
