Welcome to The Michiana Chapter!

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Michiana IIA Members,

The IIA turns 70 this year and to celebrate, our chapter leadership has initiated some very important chapter goals and events for 2011-2012.  We look forward to providing high-quality education programs, promoting the profession through academic outreach, and creating new networking opportunities.   We thank all of our dedicated members for their on-going support!

A BRIEF HISTORY LESSON

On November 17, 1941, The IIA's Certificate of Incorporation was filed and officially established The Institute of Internal Auditors name; recognized The Institute as a membership corporation; and identified the corporation s specific purposes.  On December 9, 1941, 24 charter members attended The IIA's first annual meeting.  The IIA was a national organization at the outset with several of its 24 original members hailing from the East Coast and the Midwest. IIA membership grew to 104 members by the end of the first year; increased to 1,018 at the end of five years; increased to 3,700 by 1957 with 20 percent of the members located outside the United States.  The IIA has grown tremendously and today has over 170,000 members across 165 countries!  For more information about the IIA s history, please visit the national website and view the About the IIA page.

LEARN AND BUILD YOUR NETWORK

In line with the IIA s motto, Progress through Sharing , we have education programs, a Student Night event, and a social/networking event planned.  The Chapter Board of Governors is very focused on providing quality programming for our current members and non-members.  Our goal is to increase Chapter membership by specific outreach to students, instructors, Chief Audit Executives, and others that may have interest in the profession.   Please watch the events page to sign up for events - we hope to see you soon!

On behalf of the Michiana IIA Chapter leadership we thank you for your support and we look forward to serving you.

Best regards,

Michele Sullivan
