President’s Message

Our Chapter turns 25 this year! July 23, 2015 marks a quarter of a century of serving the needs of the profession. Wow, hats off to some of our long-standing members and to those who continuously dedicate their time to leading our Chapter. I feel an important trait of a Board is a healthy mix of wise eyes and new eyes. This leads me to call for new leadership! Please contact me if you are interested in serving as an officer or board member. You will find that supporting our Chapter is very rewarding and looks good on your resume too.

Jim Pelletier, Director, Governmental Services from IIA Global Headquarters will join us on February 17th. He will deliver CPE tailored for governmental internal audit practitioners. Check your inbox as registration is open for this 2-hour event.

Raven Catlin will return on May 21st to extend 8 hours of CPE on Data Analytics. If you missed our November 2014 CPE offering from Raven, you are sure to want to sign up for this offering as Raven received excellent reviews from our members. Check your inbox as registration will open soon for this 8-hour event.

Thank you for your continued support and attendance at the chapter meetings and CPE offerings.

Monica Woods, CIA, CFSA, CRMA
