Welcome to the ISACA Silicon Valley Chapter Website.

Dear Members,

I would like to thank you for giving me the honor of leading the chapter as its President this year. I look forward to delivering excellent value to our members.

Our chapter represents the Silicon Valley, a global innovation hub standing at the pinnacle of opportunity. In our roster, we have members that represent the top technology players in the world – the very technology we will be leveraging or auditing. Our chapter also includes top thought leaders who are shaping the new best approaches to efficiency and effectiveness.

We may not have met face-to-face; but you’ve probably received a great many e-mails written by me -- about 40 in just the last six months (please accept my personal thanks for not adding ISACA-SV to your spam filters).  After three years in Marketing and Communications (M&C), first as the Committee Chair, and then as its Director, I’m finally hitting term limits and cannot run for the chapter’s M&C Director Board position again. (Whew!)

Annual Joint IIA-ISACA Conference

The 2009/2010 conference schedule included three outstanding programs.  On October 28, 2009, the Annual IIA-ISACA Joint Conference was held at the Network Meeting Center in Santa Clara.  This one-day conference featured an outstanding line up of presentations and panel discussions.  Dr. Eugene Schultz from Emagined Security was the featured Keynote Speaker and he delivered an outstanding presentation on Global Threats to Information Systems.
