For me, the pursuit of lifelong learning is not just about gaining the knowledge I need, it is about enjoying the learning process itself. My experience with ISACA® has made it even easier to love learning. Not only does it include a 2-way exchange of knowledge, but ISACA also provides opportunities to network with peers so that we can find solutions to similar problems, adopt innovative ideas and, above all, make friends who share the same interests, yet come from different cultures. That is what makes it so enjoyable to learn.

I first heard about ISACA in the 1990s and became a member in 2003. This was a real turning point in my career, when I began to understand the meaning of collaboration, networking, volunteering and social responsibility toward my colleagues in the banking industry.

In the process, not only did I gain numerous colleagues, but I also made great friends from all over the globe, from Canada to Kenya, Mexico, Portugal, Turkey, the United States and more.

Networking and volunteering through ISACA have expanded my worldview, increased my knowledge and sharpened my skills. Do not think twice–engage now.
