As we start our chapter year, I would like to request that you share your time, knowledge and effort to benefit other members in our organization. Please consider how you can provide value to the profession and let us know your thoughts. Volunteering is a two way street – every time you volunteer, you become a valuable resource to others. In return, volunteering provides an opportunity to network with other professionals in the Bay Area, and allows you to hone valuable soft skills, such as leadership and collaboration.
We on the Board are currently drafting our goals for the chapter year, and would be glad to include your ideas. We are also creating a document that will describe the different types of volunteers needed within our organization. This document will outline some of the different positions available, and the time commitment required. Once the document is available, please consider volunteering for a role that suits your interests and availability. Apart from these published roles, I am requesting that each member consider contributing at least 10 hours back into chapter activities. These 10 hours are CPE eligible.
I sign off requesting that you consider ISACA Silicon Valley as a launching pad for your professional contributions, and am looking forward to working with you,
Jay Swaminathan
President
ISACA Silicon Valley
