President’s Message

Dear Orange County Chapter Members, As the incoming President of the Orange County Chapter, I want to give a sincere thank you to Roy Currington for the

• utstanding

leadership he provided as President last year. We achieved the “Platinum Chapter” milestone, which means that the Chapter has maintained a “Gold” status for 10 of 11 consecutive years. This distinction is a measure of the Chapter’s success in serving the profession, with points awarded for activities such as hosting continuing education events, member communications, promoting the IIA and the profession, among other activities. We thank our past and existing leadership, and most of all our Chapter members for helping us reach this lofty status! Our Program Team is working diligently to confirm a slate of excellent speakers for monthly lunch meetings. On August 16th, we will be privileged to hear Douglas Hileman, President of Douglas Hileman Consulting, LLC, speak on “Frameworks for Non-Financial Reporting”. Orange County will be host to the IIA Western Regional Conference in the summer of 2017 and we have also been selected to host the International IIA Conference in 2019! These events create incredible

• pportunities to learn, share and network with industries’ most

respected leaders. With these major events on the horizon, we will need additional volunteers to provide support for the upcoming events as well as our normal Chapter operations. If you have an interest in supporting the Orange County Chapter and the Internal Audit profession, please contact me (jonathan.jayasinghe.iia@gmail.com) or the 1st VP, Rachel Snell (rsnell1@mail.cccd.edu). Within our own Chapter, we are planning a Fall and Spring Conference to provide quality continuing education to our members. We will continue to include updates in the newsletter and on the chapter website. We look forward to seeing you at the August 16th lunch meeting. Best regards, Jonathan Jayasinghe President IIA Orange County Chapter
