Dear Members,
Welcome to the 2021-2022 chapter year! I am excited to serve the Internal Audit profession as Chapter President during this unprecedented time. The COVID-19 Pandemic has proved what a critical role Internal Audit plays in helping an organization achieve its objectives in the face of an ever-changing risk landscape.
In 2020 our chapter achieved several milestones that we are very proud of. Our chapter celebrated its 55th anniversary with an exclusive webinar and Q&A session with former IIA President & CEO Richard Chambers. Our programming team quickly pivoted to offering virtual programming options that provided dynamic, timely training content for all levels of practitioners. Lastly, we have continued to sponsor academic outreach programs virtually to educate students on the benefits of the Internal Audit profession.
The value you receive from your IIA membership is derived from how much we can engage with you and your fellow members. Please ensure your IIA membership settings are configured so we may reach out to you on news and events via our chapter email address, Chapter86@iiachapters.org. Alternatively, you may also check out our LinkedIn page – search for “IIA Westchester-Fairfield” and give us a follow!
The IIA Westchester-Fairfield Chapter is a volunteer organization. We always welcome suggestions or new volunteers to help us provide great value to our members. Feel free to email us at Chapter86@iiachapters.org or contact one of the board members listed on our site.
Best wishes and we look forward to seeing our members in person again when it is safe to do so!
