The OWASP Boulder Chapter is excited to announce our July 2025 Chapter Meeting! Scheduled for Wednesday, July 23rd at the Rule4 office at 6 PM, with complimentary food, beer, and soft drinks. Join us for networking with your peers and a featured talk from Akira Brand presenting:

**Earning your Stripes: Lessons in AppSec Leadership from the first year on the job**

In this talk, we will explore different principles of AppSec leadership that Akira learned from their first year as an AppSec VP. This is especially relevant for those who are standing up an Application Security Program from greenfield. You will walk away from this talk with a deeper understanding of leadership principles that can only be learned in the battle arena of AppSec leadership. No theory, no untested ideas, just hard lessons learned from a beginner leader that are relevant no matter how much experience you have.

Special thanks to the Rule4 Team for hosting and sponsoring, we couldn't do these events without our sponsors. If you're interested in sponsoring the #1 AppSec Organization and our Boulder Chapter meetings, please reach out to alex.brown@owasp.org.
