Welcome to the IIA Nashville Chapter!

Welcome to the IIA Nashville Chapter

The Nashville chapter chartered on May 9, 1975, and achieved Ruby Status in 2018. The Nashville Chapter serves Nashville and surrounding areas and is home to approximately 500 members. Our members represent a variety of industries including banking, healthcare, government, education, consulting, retail, and manufacturing. In order to help our members continue to enhance their skillset within the Internal Audit profession, our Chapter provides professional development, roundtables, and networking events. The Chapter advocates and supports the profession through academic engagement and scholarship programs.

If you are new to the area, or currently are not a member, and would like more information about joining our chapter, getting involved by volunteering with one of our committees, or want a listing of upcoming events, email us at chapter119@iiachaptercommunications.org.

We look forward to meeting you soon-

The Nashville Chapter became a Ruby Chapter in 2018.

The success of the Nashville Chapter is a result of the efforts of many past and current volunteers. Our goal is for our Chapter to have a team of volunteers representing the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and demographics of our professional community. We need your help and participation to achieve this goal! Get involved and help us keep the Chapter strong and vibrant.

Volunteer opportunities provide an opportunity to develop and demonstrate skills in leadership, marketing, project management, treasury, communication, and outreach. Reach out, join the team, and become part of the chapter’s history, chapter119@iiachaptercommunications.org.

The Chapter is committed to increasing awareness within and educating the next generation of Internal Auditors. To aid in that mission, the Academic Relations Committee partners with local universities and colleges. Interested in partnering with us, reach out to us at chapter119@iiachaptercommunications.org.
