Impactful ways to participate in the ISACA CommunITy Day

So, the ISACA Community is happening tomorrow October 7, 2023 and this happens every first Saturday of the month of October annually. Will you join the rest of the world to participate locally (where you are) while making a global impact?

Part of being a person is about helping others ~ Regis Muray Sign-up here

BackgroundISACA CommunITy Day was born out of ISACA’s 50th anniversary year in 2019, celebrating our staff, members, chapters and partners, and the community at large. Since then, it is evident that the ISACA CommunITy Day is a day of Global impact and truly a global team effort, where ISACA staff, chapters, members, and their friends & families come together to participate locally to make an impact and give back to the community.

I was privileged to participate in the inaugural ISACA CommunITy Day 2019 event. Read more here about the Previous years’ participation in this great cause about the ISACA CommunITy Day

Every ISACA chapter, ISACA  Member, and every individual participates in their own way. How are you planning to participate in this year?

Activities could be related to advancing digital trust, but they do not have to be! Think about what will make the world a better place or what local charities need your help: the volunteer opportunities are endless! Keep in mind this is a one-day activity (or a few hours on one day) and regular chapter activities such as certification training do not count. Below are the activity ideas to consider:

  • Arts & Crafts
  • Translation/Transcription
  • Environmental
  • 1:1 Connections serving unique needs
  • Letter writing
  • Health and fitness
  • Helping the needy
  • Making a donation
