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
