Global business technology association now has 223 chapters around the world
Schaumburg, IL, USA – As demand for governance, risk, compliance and security professionals continues to grow, business technology professionals in Rwanda have formed a new chapter of ISACA. The ISACA Rwanda Chapter is starting with more than 50 initial members and becomes the 18th chapter in Africa. ISACA, a global technology association serving more than 145,000 members in 188 countries in the IT cybersecurity, audit, risk and governance professions, now has 223 chapters in 97 countries.
“The new chapter will allow us to have a channel to share knowledge and benefit from the events organized by the chapter,” said Laurien Ukurikiyimfura, ISACA Rwanda Chapter president. “These events will also allow the certification holders to maintain their certification through earning CPE, which was impossible in our earlier situation. Previously, we needed to travel not less than 508 kilometers to our neighbor countries to attend their chapter’s organized events.”
Officers of the ISACA Rwanda Chapter include:
- President – Laurien Ukurikiyimfura
- Vice President – Sandra Uwadede
- Secretary – Jean Pierre Hakizimana
- Treasurer – Joel Mbyayingabo
- Certification Coordinator – Innocent Rusagara
- Membership Director – Samuel Ruteranaa
ISACA provides credentialing, education, guidance and community for IT security, assurance, risk and governance professionals that will also benefit the local business community, government and universities. The association also offers Cybersecurity Nexus (CSX), which addresses the global cybersecurity skills shortage and helps organizations develop strong cybersecurity workforces, as well as COBIT, a business framework that helps organizations govern and manage their information and technology.
The ISACA Rwanda Chapter will provide members the opportunity to attend training and skills-development sessions, in addition to networking and social events.
