Roaring into the 20s!

President’s Message throughout an organization at all levels from staff to executives to the Board. We can intently have a great impact on all of those around us and who we interact with to further our organization and ultimately our professional and personal communities by treating everyone with respect and kindness.

This year, our chapter will continue to embrace technology for our Programs while providing top notch relevant education to our chapter. If at any time, we are able to have in person events, we will work diligently to bring our community back together face to face.

Most importantly, as said best by Richard Chambers, President and CEO of The Institute of Internal Auditors, “It is our mission, as individuals and as The IIA, to make things better, for ourselves, for our organizations, for all. Like many of you, I do not pretend to be able to see through the eyes of someone who can’t go for a run or drive to visit friends without fear of confronting unimaginable danger simply because of their race or ethnicity.”. 

As a Chapter, we will embrace this mission through our passions, our careers, and our community.  If you have any thoughts on ideas of how the

To the IIA St. Louis Chapter: And just like that, here we are kicking off a new chapter year for the IIA St. Louis Chapter.

As a professional organization, what is going on today regarding our inequalities and a pandemic impact each of us in unique ways. I am hopeful over the next chapter year; we can continue to Roar into the 20’s by embracing our technology to good use as consultants and auditors and championing equality by our intentional presence to both our professional and personal communities.

Our impact and visibility within our organizations are more robust than some may realize. We are connected

every month!

Chapter Achievement Program (CAP) CAP is the acronym for Chapter Achievement Program. The program has been established on the premise that the basic mission of the chapter is to serve its members first and then the internal audit profession. The program, sponsored by the International IIA, encourages local chapters to be active both for the benefit of the chapter members and of the local community. Local chapters earn credits for the CAP through in the following categories: a) service to members; b) service to the profession, and c) chapter administration. The Chapter Achievement Program is made up of three performance levels: bronze (685 credits), silver (1,060 credits), and gold (1,560 credits). Thanks to your efforts, our chapter has attained gold status every year since 1997. After ten consecutive years of achieving gold, a chapter achieves Platinum level which this chapter has earned since 2006. So what can a member do to earn CAP points for the chapter? Examples, include:

Attend the monthly chapter meetings; Attend chapter sponsored seminars; Utilize the chapter sponsored Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) review course; Earn an IIA certification; Develop questions for the CIA exam; Recruit new members; Present speeches or training sessions; Write internal audit-related articles for publication; Provide an internal audit internship at your company for a student; and Come up with an innovative way to promote the chapter

So, it's easy to contribute and it doesn't take too much of an effort. You can report CAP activity on the chapter website or directly to the CAP Chairperson Brent Statler at bstatler@sccmo.org.
