Hello Chapter Members and Visitors,

I enjoy chapter participation because my fellow members are the smartest group of people I know. So WOW, how did I get to be President! Just know I’m happy for the opportunity, and I’m honored.

New this year, the IIA makes it easier to be among these smart people. Students join IIA now for FREE. Details are available on our chapter site under Chapter News & Events.

And we’re encouraging greater participation from members by inviting them to sit in on Board of Governors meetings held monthly. Hopefully, you’ll like what you see and hear and want to get involved.

As an internal auditor, I sometimes feel like David taking on Goliath with my back against the wall. The chance to be around other internal auditors through chapter participation helps me feel supported. It strengthens my spirit.

Thank you,

Mark Crain, NCFIIA Chapter President

The IIA’s Chapter Achievement Program (CAP) tracks a chapter’s activities to ensure that each chapter provides services to its members strategically according to the IIA's vision. The IIA awards Bronze, Silver, or Gold status to deserving chapters annually based on the activities completed per CAP. The North Central Florida Chapter has received the Gold status every year since its inception! Because we have been awarded Gold for 10 years consecutively, we are considered a Platinum Chapter!
