Hello everyone,
I hope that everyone is happy and well, and preparing for the upcoming holiday season. It is an exciting time at SC Midlands ISACA, membership is on the rise and there are some great upcoming events on the horizon. ISACA International has rolled out the CSX platform for both corporate and individual training, so if you have not looked into it yet, please visit ISACA.org for some details.
Also, the SC State Audit Conference is right around the corner (11/15 – 11/17). It is a great way to both learn and to network with peers. . Register Here!
We are always looking for volunteers! If you are interested at becoming more involved with the chapter and helping us set the direction for 2018, please contact any member of the board for details.
Thanks,
Marc Punzirudu, SC Midlands ISACA Chapter President
