2019 Chapter Liaisons Working Group

The Chapter Liaisons Working Group (CLWG) was formed in 2018 to serve as liaisons between ISACA Headquarters (HQ) and chapter leaders. The group was among the first to be made aware of new policies, procedures, new features, etc. so they could assist the chapter relations team in responding to chapter inquiries related to items such as the Chapter Affiliation Agreement, the Accredited Training Program, the new chapter leader portal, and more. They relayed concerns or issues to ISACA HQ and were leaders in and champions of change management.

Anticipated outcomes:

• For items pertaining specifically to chapters: Continue to be onboarded with new ISACA programs and processes as items are developed and be confident in serving as the primary point of contact in peer-to-peer exchanges, as needed.
• Assist in the development, creation, and delivery of podcasts/webcasts to assist chapter leaders in their specific roles.
• Advise on potential challenges as new initiatives are explored and/or launched.
• Help communicate change and build enthusiasm among the chapter leaders for new programs and strategies that will enhance the organization.
