Welcome 2026! I hope you all had a pleasant and restful holiday season. I’ll be honest in relaying that I am typically ready to get back to work and not sure exactly why that is. Perhaps it’s the need to be back in a routine, but likely also driven by the satisfaction of working with numerous great colleagues. Participating in the Houston Chapter of The IIA over the past few years has enhanced the positives of working as an Internal Auditor and I appreciate the relationships gained through The IIA. Turning to global news, it didn’t take long for the new year to become dominated by headlines related to the developing story in Venezuela. Events in Venezuela hit even closer to home due to large Venezuelan community in Houston, as well as the past (and potentially future) ties to the oil and gas industry. It appears we are in for another busy year and I look forward to interacting with each of you in 2026!
