IIA Membership Means More in 2010
Dear Valued IIA Member:
Despite the challenging economic environment this year, The IIA began delivering on a promise to provide each and every one of you a more valuable membership experience. This past year, we have developed products and services available free to you, such as in-demand practice guides on relevant issues, the new InternalAuditorOnline.org, and the IIA Bridge Membership Program that extends membership benefits to professionals who have lost their jobs.
To allow us to continue enhancing the quality services you expect from The IIA, it’s necessary for us to increase member dues. Effective March 1, 2010, annual dues for all North American members will increase by $50, from $145 to $195. Members of IIA-Canada will see an increase from $165 to $215. And all other membership categories will see similar increases. As we enter into 2010, we have designed new member benefits to ensure you’re receiving value in exchange for this additional investment.
As a part of your enhanced membership experience, The IIA will provide exclusive privileges designed to impact your success, advance the profession, and save you money, such as:
- An opportunity to earn valuable CPEs through complimentary member-only webinars and Internal Auditor magazine quizzes, as well as access to webinar archives and presentations.
- A new member print publication called IIA Today that will keep you informed about internal audit news and what’s happening at The IIA in guidance, research, and professional development.
- Free access to new practice advisories and practice guides on topics such as corporate social responsibility, IT governance, and assessing risk management, as well as a new series of GTAG webinars.
- Lower pricing on world-class conferences and seminars around the country.
- Continued advocacy to elevate the profession among regulators, standard-setting bodies, the media and other key stakeholders who influence the future of internal auditing.
- The January launch of a cleaner, simplified, and more content-rich IIA Web site home page, giving you the most timely and relevant information in an easy-to-navigate format.
- Full implementation of the Audit Executive Center, serving the multi-faceted needs of chief audit executives.
- A “member gift” program that provides deep discounts on IIA services and complimentary products on a quarterly basis.
- Special member discounts from such companies as GEICO, Omni Hotels, and Nationwide.
- Live customer service chat capability on The IIA’s Web site to easily answer questions and resolve your issues.
With the uncertainties organizations are facing now, there has never been a greater opportunity for internal auditors and the profession to demonstrate our value. The IIA will help you make that possible by providing unprecedented value for your membership experience. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to working for you in 2010!
Sincerely,
Richard F. Chambers, CIA, CGAP, CCSA
President and Chief Executive Officer
