Membership Committee Update

As we continue to celebrate the San Francisco Giants brining the World Championship Trophy to our great City, it is interesting to observe the similarities with our chapter. The Giants rose to the top of the baseball world by assembling a diverse team, some veterans, and some rookies, all dedicated to being the best team they could be. They understand and respect one another’s strengths and never hesitate to backup their teammates.

The leadership of your SF ISACA Chapter is similar in many ways. It is composed of a team of dedicated individuals, coming from a diverse set of backgrounds in IT Audit, Security and Governance, all focused on making your membership in ISACA, and your association with the San Francisco Chapter as valuable as possible. Through their close management of the chapter’s finances, we are able to substantially subsidize the cost of putting on some of the best educational opportunities in Northern California. Whether it’s the monthly educational events, the fantastic Fall Conference, or the various certification exam preparation workshops, your chapter membership provides you with an outstanding educational value.

And beyond "just" the educational opportunities, your chapter membership provides you with a number of networking options. If you’re interested in just shaking some hands and exchanging some business cards, leverage the networking opportunities available at all chapter events. If you’re looking to take the actions necessary to build your reputation in the in the IT Audit, Security and Governance community, there is no better way to pursue that goal than getting involved in the management and operations of your SF ISACA chapter. Representing over 900 professionals in the Bay Area, helping to set and execute the agenda for the chapter is rewarding on many levels, both professionally and personally. See http://sfisaca.org/committees.htm for more information or to get involved.
