President’s Message

Dear Tulsa Chapter Members,

To borrow a phrase from a popular song, “It’s the most wonderful time of the

year”. There is music in the air, the hustle and bustle of shopping for gifts, planning and partici-

pating in parties, on top of wrapping up year end 2013 requirements. Where did 2013 go? This is

the time of year where each of us looks back and reflects on the past; celebrate with friends and

family, and set plans and expectations for the coming year. Of course, the celebration will all too quickly pass and we will be

digging in to meet new 2014 expectations.

Our December joint meeting with the IMA was very well attended. We enjoyed a very interesting presentation by Brandon

Brown, VP of Audit Services at Cherokee Nation on attracting and retaining Gen-Y Millennial. I am often amazed at the genera-

tional differences creating such great diversity, and the fact that at any given Chapter meeting, we have representation from 4 or

5 different generations. What a great opportunity to share, and learn from each other, and our various perspectives.

Your support and attendance at Chapter activities is greatly appreciated. Chapter meetings provide you with learning and grow-

ing opportunities through insightful presentations and networking with your peers. Please continue to encourage and invite oth-

ers to come with you to our Chapter meetings. We have a great Chapter with a long history of success in advocating and pro-

moting the value internal audit professionals add to their organizations. As you all know as Internal Auditors, we provide inde-

pendent, objective assurance to the Board which adds value and improves company operations. We bring a

systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and

governance processes.

Lastly, I hope you have some time off to relax and rejuvenate so you can come back to work in January re-

freshed and rip roaring ready to go. I look forward to seeing you at the January 2014 meeting.

Happy New Year!
