President’s Message – Continuing Our Collective Success

Dear fellow members,

I hope you are as excited as I am for our upcoming 2021 – 2022 ISACA Saint Louis program year! Your volunteer board has been working hard over the past few months to develop a 2021-2022 plan with a focus on safely offering a full schedule of educational, networking & social events.

At our 2021 Annual General Meeting held this past May, we made several important announcements that I would like to call your attention to:

All our Fall events will remain fully virtual, educational CPE events. They will also remain free of costs to members.

Our plan for the Spring is to move towards a hybrid model whereby educational events will remain fully virtual and free of costs to members, however, we are planning to also offer fully in-person social & networking events if safe to do so.

Our chapter will re-instate our annual dues as planned. You may recall we reduced our annual dues from $25 to $0 (free) for 2020 – 2021 due to the pandemic.

Our full event schedule is available on our website: www.isaca-stlouis.org

This year also will mark the end of our current Chapter Board. We will seek formal nominations in the Spring for an April 2022 election. Based on my 8 years’ experience as a board member, I would strongly encourage anyone interested to first consider volunteering. Feel free to reach out to me directly in that regard.

Finally, thank you to our board, our volunteers, and to all our members for your help and understanding as we continue to navigate these challenging times together.

Best wishes and good health to you and yours,

Adam M. Sommer
President
ISACA St. Louis
