President's Message

September was a busy month for the ISACA New York Metropolitan Chapter Board.  We closed out the Summer with a fantastic Membership Meeting and Golf Outing event on Long Island at the Northshore Towers on the Green Country Club.   We welcomed the Fall with our signature Membership Social and Volunteer Recruitment event at the beautiful Battery Gardens Restaurant in Manhattan.  Both events were well attended, and I believe our chapter members were satisfied based on the feedback received.

We were also planning and preparing for a few upcoming events taking place the month of October.  First, the chapter is gearing up to give back on October 5th, CommunITy Service Day,  by supporting  the Food Bank of New York.  As volunteers, we will assist families in a variety of ways including checking out and bagging groceries and restocking shelves.  This Food Pantry provides over 40,000 meals a month.  There’s still room.  Please reach out to the coordinator of this event, marie.ivanov@isacany.org for more information.

Second, the Certification Committee was also busy gearing up for our exam preparation classes starting on October 6th and ending on Oct 29th.

Third, ISACA New York Metropolitan Chapter’s Fall Membership Meeting and Networking Event will take place at Barclays at Time Square.  This educational event will focus on Cyber Resiliency and offer up to 3 CPEs.
