SE Wisconsin International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) Chapter
What is the IIBA?
The IIBA is an international not-for-profit professional association for Business Analysis professionals. A business analyst works as a liaison among stakeholders in order to elicit, analyze, communicate and validate requirements for changes to business processes, policies and information systems. The business analyst understands business problems and opportunities in the context of the requirements and recommends solutions that enable the organization to achieve its goals.
The IIBA vision is to be the leading world-wide professional association that develops and maintains standards for the practice of business analysis and for the certification of practitioners. IIBA will achieve that goal by:
Creating and developing awareness and recognition of the value and contribution of the Business Analyst
Chapters advance the mission and objectives of the IIBA™ by promoting professional standards and practices at the local level. Ongoing professional development is a key benefit to membership and is supported at the chapter level through activities, meetings, and educational programs. Chapters also enable networking with fellow BAs from a wide variety of organizations and industries, in a local, face-to-face setting. Joining IIBA™ acknowledges your commitment to high performance and excellence in the area of business analysis. As an IIBA™ chapter member, you can leverage the membership more fully.

Congratulations!!...and Welcome to the SE WI Chapter 2010 Board Members!
Elections were held during our November AGM Meeting and the following individuals will be joining the chapter Board for 2010:
Mike Ruhland, President
Bryan Buford, VP of Professional Development and Certification
Kal Vidyaraman, Treasurer
Returning Board members for 2010 include: Dodie Kovac, VP Member and Sponsor Relations Jeff Goldring, VP Marketing and Communication Ryan Burwell, Secretary Dave DeBruine will continue as part of the Board in the position of Past President.
The Election Committee would like to extend an apology to Janaka Herath. A transfer error occurred while tallying ballots led that led the Election Committee to incorrectly identify Janaka as the Chapter's new Treasurer. However, during a final audit before submitting election results to the IIBA, the error was discovered. To comply with Chapter bylaws it was necessary for the position to be rightfully awarded to Kal Vidyaraman. The Board and the Election Committee wish to extend our thanks to Janaka for his patience and understanding. We look forward to Janaka's future contributions to the Chapter.
