Tulsa Chapter
President’s Message
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end. “Closing Time,” Semisonic
The end of winter signals the start of spring. And with the onset of spring, our chapter begins to usher in the new. Our current chapter year winds up this May, and I’m honored to have spent the past few years serving our Tulsa chapter. We will begin transitioning roles to our new leadership in June, headed by Rex Wilson as our new President.
But before the shift to new chapter administration, I do want to circle back with you to communicate where we stand in accom-plishing our chapter goals set last summer.
Achieve Platinum Status by obtaining 1,560 CAP points – As of March 31, we had a total of 1,021 Chapter Achievement Program points, which currently puts us in Bronze status. With the events we have remaining this chapter year, I have no doubt we’ll surpass our goal to reach Gold and retain our chapter’s Platinum status.
Increased meeting participation to average 93 members – Participation in monthly meetings this chapter year has not been as high as we had hoped, with current averages in the low 70’s. We will continue to look for ways to improve our meetings and grow our membership attendance, and hope that changes in the future will bring our attendance numbers up to this goal.
Increased satisfactory ratings through surveys – Survey questions used throughout the year were updated to provide us better information regarding monthly meetings, types of events you are interested in, and how we could improve with spe-cific questions and examples. We will continue to rely on these responses and update questions as needed for future op-portunities.
Improve Academic Relations presence through the following:
Hold at least one meeting/presentation or student activity at each of the four universities (NSU, ORU, OSU, TU) – We reached out to the local universities, but were not able to make connections with some of them to plan stu-dent events. We did have a successful event at the NSU-BA campus, where we teamed up with the ISACA chapter to speak to over 60 students about the different internal audit professions.
Increase applicants for the scholarships to 12 – Unfortunately, with little response from the local universities, we did not have an overwhelming number of appli-cants. This year we will be awarding one student with a scholarship.
Establish library at local university – We have been in touch with a university library, however circumstances did not allow us to establish an IIA library at this time. We hope to continue these discussions and be able to participate in a joint library to house IIA and other audit materials that will be available to both students and chapter mem-bers in future years.
The 2014-2015 chapter leaders took great strides to meet these and other goals established at the beginning of the chapter year. Some we were able to meet or even exceed our goals; others will provide learning opportunities for us . I have no doubt our future leaders will research these results to see if our chapter processes, or perhaps the goals themselves, need to be updated for the next year. Thanks again to everyone who helped make this chapter year a success. And best wishes to those
who have bravely volunteered to lead us in the next year. ~Annie
Annie Mills 2014-2015 President
