IIA Volunteers Are "Most Inspiring"
More than 60 IIA members around the country dedicated 295 hours of volunteer time to Junior Achievement (JA) during the 2010-2011 school year. Topping the list of chapters most supportive of The IIA’s partnership with JA (based on overall hours served, as well as volunteers per chapter size) are IIA-Birmingham, IIA-Tri-State (Evansville), and IIA-Montgomery. These three chapters are recipients of the “Most Inspiring Chapter” Award.
"I’m really proud of all IIA members who generously give their time and passion to volunteer for JA. They are helping mold future business professionals, perhaps even future internal auditors,” says IIA President and CEO Richard Chambers. “Our Birmingham, Tri-State (Evansville) and Montgomery chapters set an excellent example for those that want to make a difference in their communities,” he added.
Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs. IIA-Birmingham had the most impressive turnout with 18 members volunteering 84 hours in the classroom. Other chapters to be commended for their JA volunteer participation include: IIA-San Antonio, IIA-Detroit, and IIA-Albuquerque.
“Our chapter volunteers really enjoyed working with the students,” said IIA-Tri-State (Evansville) Chapter President Jason Gossett. “We believe internal auditors are best fit to educate students on business issues such as ethics, integrity, corporate accountability, and financial literacy. We were amazed at how interested younger kids are in business and making money.”
Any IIA member volunteering for JA through ongoing classroom programs, JA-in-a-Day, or by participating in fundraising through events such as the JA Bowl-a-Thon is encouraged to report their time by filling out a JA CAP Worksheet, available on The IIA’s website. In addition to earning CAP points for your chapter, those chapters with the most active JA volunteers are recognized with the “Most Inspiring Chapter” Award. Plus, it’s a rewarding way to help The IIA or your employer create goodwill in your community.
For more information about volunteering for JA, contact pr@theiia.org or visit www.theiia.org/inspire.
