Share Your Expertise. Explore New and Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

ISACA is excited to offer you a new way to volunteer and contribute your skills and expertise as subject matter expert (SME).  Volunteer opportunities are now more flexible and respect your busy time and schedule. From a year-long commitment to an hour of your time, ISACA projects enable you to get involved as your schedule permits. 

A volunteer does not need to be a member or hold a certification; however, they should then have proven experience in support of the subject matter they are reviewing.  It is ultimately up to the project manager to accept and finalize volunteers for any internal ISACA research publication. Any volunteer is required to sign a Participation Agreement and submit it to the ISACA Legal Department.

Take a look at what is currently open and get involved today!

All of ISACA HQ’s volunteer opportunities are posted on the volunteer portal found here:  http://www.isaca.org/About-ISACA/Volunteering/Pages/Volunteer-Opportunities.aspx.  There is also a Volunteer Now” link that takes users to a form to fill out.  Anyone who completes this form is entered into the volunteer database for project managers to refer to for future projects.

For additional information:
Please contact Audra Woods, SC Midlands ISACA Research Director at Research@scisaca.org

Get Local! 
Volunteer opportunities are not only at the International level, your local chapter needs volunteers too! Volunteering at your local chapter is a great way to become an active member of ISACA.  

Opportunities can range from one-time tasks or committee involvement, to chapter board leadership roles, including serving as chapter president. Contact your chapter (president@scisaca.org) and ask how you can get involved!
