Dear Members,

I am deeply honored and humbled to step into the role of President of the IIA Vancouver Chapter. This is a role that I step into with a deep sense of respect and understanding of the responsibility it entails. I am fully aware that this position is not just a title, but a commitment to serve our Internal Audit community with unwavering dedication, utmost integrity, and a forward-thinking vision.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to our former President, Alan Cosgrave. His ability to rally support and commitment has been nothing short of remarkable. His leadership has been a catalyst for change, sparking enthusiasm and dedication that have propelled us forward. Alan has not just set a high standard, he has etched a path of excellence that I am committed to tread, no matter how challenging.

As we collectively embark on this new Chapter year, I am excited for the opportunities that await us. I see not just the potential for growth, but also a chance to make a difference and shape the future of our profession. I am committed to building on the strong foundation laid by my predecessors, and working closely with our dedicated board members and chapter members to create opportunities to learn, connect and promote the profession.

In the new Chapter year, I look forward to connecting and hearing from you, our valued members. I firmly believe that our collective strength is our greatest asset, and

I am confident that with your invaluable support and collaboration, we will not just continue, but soar in elevating our Chapter and the internal audit profession to new pinnacles of success. Thank you for your trust and support. Together, we will write a new chapter of success and growth.

Sincerely,

Melissa Chan
