Welcome to IIA Barbados!
As a Chapter, we will focus on the growth and professional development of our members. This will be accomplished by offering meaningful and relevant programming, and certification opportunities.
Our migration to the virtual platform allows us to bring talented regional and international presenters to our membership. It also facilitates collaboration with other Chapters from around the world.
Here are a few of our initiatives:
- Build Mentorship and Internship Capacity
-'Scholarship Opportunities for Student Members
- Reintroduction of CAE Roundtables
Additionally, there will be special emphasis on Academic Relations as we continue to forge and foster relationships with local tertiary institutions - the University of the West Indies (Cave Hill Campus and Open Campus), as well as the Barbados Community College.
The Chapter is always looking for fresh faces, new volunteers, and ideas. Please feel free to contact me or any Officer if you are interested in becoming more involved within the Chapter.
