Spring Conference Postponed

Fellow Chapter Members,

As you may know, the global COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation is concerning. In light of the arrival of COVID-19 in Utah and Gov. Herbert's declaration of a state of emergency, as well as the recent announcement by the World Health Organization officially deeming the outbreak a “pandemic”, I am sadly announcing that the IIA SLC Chapter will not be holding in-person events for the remainder of the chapter year (concluding May 31). Our Chapter’s Board of Governors made this difficult decision in order to protect the health and welfare of our members and other stakeholders as we attempt to decrease the likelihood of community spread.

This announcement obviously affects our much-anticipated Spring Conference that was scheduled for March 27. We have decided to POSTPONE the Spring Conference until Fall, in hopes that this situation will improve with time. We will keep you updated regarding the reschedule date and agenda details in the coming months.  For those of you who have registered, we are deeply sorry for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We will be providing a FULL refund to you within a week via the same method original payment was made. We hope you will register for the rescheduled event this Fall.

Chapter Leadership is currently exploring the possibility of holding virtual training events in place of our April and May monthly luncheons and the Spring CAE Forum. These online events will be FREE and you will be hearing more about that in the coming weeks.

I want to acknowledge the time and effort put in by our event committee volunteers this year. Specifically, Brad Barlow, Alisha Jerauld, Maygen Richardson, Dan Clayton, Kent Parker, Tom Green, and George Cannon. Thank you so much for your tireless work and commitment.

Thank you all for supporting our chapter. Stay safe and let us all continue to heed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance, including thoroughly washing and drying our hands and staying home if we are sick (pandemic or not).

Regards,

Mike Camp

SLC Chapter President

The Institute of Internal Auditors

THANK YOU TO OUR GOLD LEVEL CONFERENCE SPONSORS!
