As the IIA celebrates its 70^th anniversary, it is amazing to think how far the internal audit profession has come from those early days. The opportunities for participating in chapter activities back then did not extend much more than attending a meeting and networking. The variety of activities for which members can now volunteer has certainly blossomed considerably through the years.

The Atlanta Chapter has a wide variety of ways for members to volunteer in making a difference. Some of the more visible ways is to attend to the registration desk at the monthly meetings or even at a special event like the Atlanta Conference.

But did you know that there are always committees and task forces that could use an extra hand? Here are some examples:

• Communications Committee (to help publish newsletter, expand uses of social media, etc.
• Membership & Certifications (grow membership, certifications oversight and management)
• Programs (to help provide engaging presentations)
• Strategic Partnerships (expand outreach efforts)
• International IIA Engagement (to encourage more participation)
• Innovation (to conduct Innovator of the Year program)
• Academic Relations (to strengthen the outreach to KSU/GSU )
• The Atlanta Conference (to provide premier training to the metro area)
• Volunteers (to help identify those who want to get involved)
• Board Members (to provider leadership and active support of the chapter)

There is always room for more...thoughts, ideas and involvement!

If you see something that you may like to do, you can contact any of the chapter officers or reach out to:

Glenda Ostrander, VP of Volunteers, 678.301.6332  glenda_ostrander@gwinnett.k12.ga.us

or for interest in serving as a Board Member, you can contact:

Paul McClung, Chairman of the Board, 404.407.3039 Paul.McClung@carters.com

You can make a difference!

In keeping with its motto of "Progress Through Sharing," this month The IIA launched a new video-sharing site, AuditChannel.tv, that addresses the specific needs of internal auditors and the business community. With "video channels" focused on areas such as fraud, governance, risk, technology, operations, finance, compliance, and more, AuditChannel.tv enables internal audit professionals worldwide to search for and post videos that address the topics of greatest interest to the profession.

The site also allows registered users to rate and comment on the video content. Best of all, with most shared videos under five minutes in length, AuditChannel.tv enables users to drill down to the essence of a topic in a timely fashion and in their own language. Currently, the site has videos in English, Spanish, and French.

The IIA envisions AuditChannel.tv to be community-driven, with users providing the majority of the content and guiding its evolution. As host of the platform, The IIA will provide content generated from our key activities and share the latest information and breaking news available on the profession.

IIA members and other business professionals can register at www.AuditChannel.tv or www.AuditChannel.tv/mobile (for mobile devices) to become users of the site, enabling them to view, rate, and comment on the site's current content — and add their own.

Join the AuditChannel.tv community today. Share your content and view content generated by your peers world-wide.
