As the 2009-2010 year is in full swing, I want to take the opportunity to thank Matt Putvinski and the Board and Committee members for their leadership, commitment and various accomplishments achieved last year. Looking back on last year, key accomplishments included significant progress discussing partnership opportunities with local colleges and universities , culminating with the granting of a scholarship. We sponsored a well attended networking event; expanded programs offered to our members; and created a strategic growth committee.
As we look forward to the upcoming year, we are fortunate to have many dedicated Board and committee members, who have been working towards objectives aimed at providing programs that serve our members. During the board meetings to date it is amazing to see the energy and dedication of the volunteers. We will continue to offer networking events and training programs/ seminars, focusing on topics suggested by our member. We will continue to focus on Academic Relations in order to ensure that students have a chance to learn about the benefits of ISACA in today's market. There are a lot more exciting objectives that are being worked on such as CGEIT training and pursuing NASBA certification for our seminars.
As always, volunteers are needed to make our Chapter activities a success. If you are interested in volunteering, either for a specific time period, or in an ongoing capacity, please let me know and we will identify a role for you within the Chapter. We also welcome your comments and suggestions on how we can serve you better as members of ISACA New England. Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you soon at upcoming networking and training events!
