Dear Chapter Members and Friends,
What a year it has been!
Found myself reminiscing about the countless hours of dedication, sacrifice and hard work delivered by the amazing Chapter Officers and Board of Governors during this fiscal year 2021-2022.
Extremely grateful to have served as your President and forever thankful to have a committed team!
During this fiscal year the board was made up of professional individuals who have served for many years. Like our Dear Cecilia Estrada Lopez, who served as your Treasurer since 2020 and fulfilled her duties with no delay. She kept the finances up to date and incorporated QuickBooks in the middle of the fiscal year; all done with such grace and always a smile on her face. Then there is THE Dear Patrice Hills, reliable and such a classic lady, who also served as your Secretary since 2020 and kept us all informed, shared job openings, special announcements, never delayed to provide feedback and updated our cancelation and refund policy. Last, Isela Denton, a TRUE gem of a woman! Her gallant guidance, assistance and professional/passionate demeanor made it all easier and possible. In addition, special mention to our President-Elect Michael Lamas who kept the CAP requirements up to date, was the face during the professional trainings, met with the speakers prior to the day of the event and was brave enough to take such a role in the midst of personal challenges.
For the remainder of the year, we have one more event. Do mark your calendar and register! We will have our first in-person CPE and Annual General Membership meeting scheduled May 19, 2022. We are thrilled to see you in person!
We are hopeful that our membership grows with a successful Internal Audit Forum held on April 20, 2022, at UTEP in collaboration with Internal Audit Student Association and Accounting and Information Systems Department. Special Thanks to our Chapter Audit Committee members Luis Carrera and Edmundo Calderon for being panelists and Courtney Rios, UTEP Audit Manager and Professor for making it possible.
The Chapter is set to continue thriving with an amazing new leadership team; pictures and bios of the nominees are found in this newsletter. Next year’s Officers and Board of Governors are eager to continue bringing good quality trainings and events to you, future members, and the rest of the professional community.
I truly hope you were able to strengthen your knowledge with the various professional educational opportunities offered during the year. Moreover, I hope you were able to build solid connections in this honorable profession. We are here to share our wisdom and assist one another.
Finally, it was an absolute pleasure to have served as your president. Things end, but memories last forever.
We look forward to your support as we continue to grow.
Your 2021-2022
IIA El Paso Chapter President,
