New Awards for Adelaide Chapter

ISACA Adelaide Chapter has been awared K. Wayne Snipes Recognition Award as the Best Medium Chapter in Oceania in 2010. This is the recognition of extraordinary contribution of the current and past two presients, the Board members and our membership. Our chapter has consistently outperform our peers in terms of growth in the past two years, Chapter compliance, PD sessions and other membership services offered.

In October 2010 the ISACA Adelaide Chapter teamed with the Australian Computer Society‘s (ACS) local branch and hosted a 1-day conference which was held at the Adelaide Festival Centre. Over 100 people took part and enjoyed the speakers and activities in multiple streams. The ISACA-sponsored security stream had some thought provoking presentations and round tables. The conference proved to be a great success for our members and also the chapter, judging by the interest in ISACA materials and programs offered at the ISACA Adelaide booth.

Following the conference a 1 day workshop was conducted and attended solely by ISACA members. The workshop was entitled Conversations that Count and Linda Chaousis, Managing Director of Right Angle Strategies led the workshop. High praise was given by the select band that attended and all felt that they went away with something new to put into their leadership toolkit.

ISACA Adelaide Chapter would like to thank all presenters and delegates at the joint ACS/ISACA Conference 2010.

The ISACA Adelaide Chapter 2010 annual general meeting was held on 12th October at the Mercure Grosvenor Hotel. The new board was elected unopposed.
