Volunteers Needed

The chapter is currently looking for members who would like to step up to the next leadership level and volunteer with the Chapter.   It may appear that the chapter runs itself but it takes some work by people who are volunteering to help the chapter.

Right now, our Chapter needs a Programs VP. The Programs VP is responsible for arranging and coordinating the speakers for the meetings.

You get a lot of experience as well as assistance and mentoring  from the other board members. If interested, contact a board member.


 

Help Us Reach Gold Again in this Year's CAP Program

Seven years in a row (2005-2011) our chapter has reached the Gold level in the IIA Chapter Achievement Program (CAP). That means our chapter and our members are consistently very active in the audit profession. We’re always calculating our CAP points and we need to know when our members participate in either of the following activities: 

Speaking on an internal audit topic at a meeting , seminar, or CPE class.

Submitting an article to a trade publication such as The Internal Auditor,
CAE Bulletin, IIA Educator, and other specialty newsletters.

If you have participated in one or more of these activities, please email the details to Jim Myers, our CAP coordinator.
