Welcome San Francisco IIA Members,
I am humbled and pleased to be your President for 2021 - 2022.
Our Gold Chapter continued to build a strong foundation in 2020. Under our prior President, we achieved much despite an uncertain year. Highlights include:
- A recognition of the Covid-19 economic impact, and accordingly free virtual events
- Unprecedented cross-chapter coordination - An updating of governance practices, regulatory filings, and bylaws
- Reinvigoration of university relations.
I am very much looking forward to 2021 and to working with you where our focus will be:
- Adopting Institute of Internal Audit best practices, including tools for managing our events
- Further expansion and strengthening of university relations
- Continuing to advance and enhance our digital presence
- Encouraging, highlighting, and celebrating member certification and volunteer achievements.
I also look forward to continuing the great work of past president, the San Francisco Board of Governors, and our many member volunteers.
We welcome program/chapter input and volunteerism from every member. Please do not hesitate to contact me so we may serve you better.
Best Regards,
Gerald Cannon
2021–2022 IIA San Francisco Chapter – President
