Recruit A Colleague Campaign!

The most effective form of membership recruitment is peer to peer -- one internal audit professional talking with another about the benefits of membership in The IIA. That's why we are inviting you to take part in the new year-round Recruit-A-Colleague membership program. The program is simple – recruit your colleagues, reward yourself!

As a member of The IIA, you already know the value you receive through our advocacy efforts, educational and networking opportunities, as well as publications and periodicals; all devoted entirely to the profession of internal auditing. By sharing this with your non-IIA colleagues and encouraging their participation, you can help strengthen the profession around the globe!

Fellow NOVA IIA Chapter Members,
