President's Message
May 2013 |
 |
Greetings Dallas Chapter! I’m sad to report that
this will be my last communication since May will signal the
end of my term as President of this great chapter! We
have accomplished a lot of wonderful things:
- launching our first annual Super Conference
- deploying CVent to help manage registration activities for our events
- increasing our membership by 4.8% over last year (as of 3/29/13)
- strengthening our relationship with the UNT Accounting program
- creating a Technology Chair position and Committee
- achieving platinum status again
All of those great accomplishments would never have been
possible without the commitment of our chapter members and
volunteers. I want to issue a very special thank you
to each of our board of governors and officers for their
tireless efforts in taking the chapter to the next level.
I will move onto the Board in June and I am looking forward
to serving the chapter in a different capacity.
 It
is also important to note that May is Internal Audit
Awareness Month, which provides the perfect opportunity to
promote the profession and its important role in
organizational governance, internal control, and risk
management. We challenge you to become actively
engaged in the global movement to elevate the internal audit
profession. In the month of May, please consider
sharing information about your department with your business
leaders or speaking about the benefits of working within the
internal audit profession to a local college or university.
I’m very excited to say that the Dallas and Fort Worth IIA
Chapters will be hosting our May meeting at the Ballpark in
Arlington on May 22nd (Wednesday). This marks the last
event of our fiscal year which is why we chose the Ballpark
for a time of best practice audit CPE, networking, food, and
baseball. Registration is limited to the first 200
people and includes two hours of CPE, lunch, parking and one
Rangers game ticket (starting at 1:05pm) in a great section
of the Ballpark! A special thanks to Weaver LLC, who
will be sponsoring this year’s event. Please visit
www.dallasiia.org and
check out our great lineup of speakers and register.
I
would like to thank you for your continued support of the
Dallas Chapter. We have one of the best chapters in
the world and it is because of our membership that we
continue to perform at the top.
Sincerely,
Greg Estes
2012/13 President – Dallas IIA
