Message from the Chapter President

I am honored to take over the chapter stewardship from Natasha Wheatly, our immediate past president, who together with the team of chapter volunteers and all past presidents and chapter officers have created a friendly community for exchange of knowledge and ideas and for the support of 7000+ local and global professionals in their professional journeys. 

 

Our Programs team organized 22 global and 3 local seminars, conferences and summits in 2024. More than 3000 people attended our 2024 events.

Frequently Asked Questions:  

  1. The chapter does not organize networking events close to where I live or work:

  • We are a unique ISACA chapter. Most chapters cover one metro area or one country. We cover four states. The distance from Western Massachusetts to Northern Maine is 600 miles.  Many live or work in areas with just a handful of other members close by. 

  • We aim to organize events in each state: Save the dates and try to attend our conferences in VT, NH, ME and MA. 

  • Complete the member survey, indicate your interest in organizing networking events in your area and we will forward this info to the members who live or work close to you.  

 

  1. The chapter does not organize events related to my industry or on topics interested for me: 

  • Complete the member survey asap. Let us know now, rather than at the end of the year, which topics you are interested in, nominate interesting speakers, indicate your interest in organizing events for your industry and we will connect you with members who express interest in similar industry topics and events.

 

  1. I don’t receive information about chapter events: 



  1. I look for free CPE and networking events: 

  • If you are between jobs, reach to: membership.director@isacane.org and they will provide you a discount code for event registrations

  • Many don’t show up for free events. When space is limited, no shows prevent others from attending these events. 

  • We organize free events when space is unlimited - we organized 20+ free webinars in 2024. If you could help us secure a large event venue for free, complete our member survey and help us organize free in-person events.

  • We charge fees for in-person events to cover the event expenses. Low cost events have nominal fees. 

  • The chapter membership fee (which is below the average ISACA chapter membership fee) and our chapter sponsors help subsidize the fees we charge for our events.
