It’s an honour to preside over the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Toronto Chapter on the eve of its 80th anniversary. Incorporated in 1944, Toronto is the eighth IIA Chapter to be formed and is currently the second largest in the world. I am pleased to have been entrusted with this position and to have the opportunity to serve alongside talented and dedicated professionals in our field.

As we embark on this new beginning, I am deeply committed to advancing our profession, enhancing our learning and development offerings to better meet member needs, and fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for the Chapter and its members.

The Chapter is focused on initiatives and activities that will propel the achievement of our strategic objectives and goals. We are always open to new ideas and suggestions from our members, as we recognize the value of your contributions.

I hope to meet you at one of our Chapter events, as we return to in person and continue to offer hybrid events, for those near and far. I look forward to an exciting and rewarding year together.

Kind Regards,

Sharon
