PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
JUNE 2008


Dear Colleagues,


Welcome to a new year for the IIA Tidewater Chapter!  I look forward to serving as your President for the upcoming year.  Before moving on to this year, I would like to thank outgoing President Marsha Hahn and all the other members who contributed to making last year a successful one.  The Tidewater Chapter achieved PLATINUM status again, which is awarded to a Chapter after it has achieved Gold status for ten consecutive years.  I was more than honored to accept that prestigious award at the Leadership Conference in Florida for our chapter.  Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped make that happen!


Corporate IIA headquarters has officially kicked off the Membership Madness Carnival.  As of May 12, 2008 new members can save $90 off individual membership dues and application fees.  The fees do increase every two weeks through July 11, 2008.  Audit Groups joining will receive 20% off already discounted audit group fees when their organization’s entire audit staff joins.  If you know an audit professional or audit group that is not a current member of the IIA Tidewater Chapter, I would like to encourage participation with us.  Membership benefits offer professional guidance and certification, networking and participation, training, professional publications, and other services.  I will be glad to discuss membership rates and benefits with anyone interested, and can be reached at Brenda.Mendenhall@rivhs.com or (757) 534-7062.


Representatives from three Virginia IIA chapters in our district will be attending the IIA District Workshop in June to begin planning the 2008 District Conference.  Be sure to mark your calendars now, as the event will be held October 23-24, 2008 at the Virginia Beach Sheraton Oceanfront. Glenn Sumners will also be teaching all four parts of the CIA Review course on October 22-25, 2008. We will have additional information in this summer’s newsletters and on the iiatidewater.org website.  We always like to hear from our members for any training needs that are preferred.


I hope everyone is looking forward to and enjoys the summer! 



Sincerely,

 

Brenda Mendenhall

President, IIA Tidewater Chapter
