President’s Letter:
Greetings chapter members! It has been nearly two months since the last newsletter, and a lot has
happened within our chapter during that time. Our March meeting featured Nancy Elsbecker. She
provided a lot of information including the upcoming ACH rules changes, an ACH processing
overview, and frequently noted violations. Nancy even got our minds working by asking us how many
body parts have 3 letters (hint: there are 10, can you name them?) and what happened to the missing
money in the hotel scenario.
On April 22nd and April 23rd, our chapter hosed a 2-day Audit Skills training with William
Woodington of Woodington Training Solutions. William proved to be a valuable educator to
everyone from new auditors to those with over 20 years of experience. Overall, the evaluations were
very positive, and our chapter hosted another successful Spring Seminar.
I just returned from the IIA Leadership Academy where I was able to share ideas with over 350
chapter leaders from the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. It truly was a privilege to
represent our chapter and our district during the 3-day conference. Our chapter has a lot to be proud
of, and we were recognized as a Chapter of Excellence for our support of the CIA Learning System
and our donation to the IIA Research Foundation. I encourage any of our current leaders and future
leaders to consider attending the Academy next year.

Our next meeting will be an audit director’s roundtable. Panelists will include the head audit
personnel of First Premier, CorTrust, and MetaBank. The meeting will be held at the Meta Payment
Systems building (5501 S Broadband Ln). Admission to the meeting will be free with a non-perishable
food item which will be donated to Feeding South Dakota. Last year, we donated more than 40 items,
so let’s try and top that this year! We will also be voting in our officers for the 2013-2014 chapter
year.

astronaut to travel into space. The suborbital flight, which lasted 15 minutes and reached a height of
116 miles into the atmosphere, was a major triumph for the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA).
NASA was established in 1958 to keep U.S. space efforts abreast of recent Soviet achievements, such
as the launching of the world's first artificial satellite--Sputnik 1--in 1957. In the late 1950s and early
1960s, the two superpowers raced to become the first country to put a man in space and return him to
Earth. On April 12, 1961, the Soviet space program won the race when cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was
launched into space, put in orbit around the planet, and safely returned to Earth. One month later,
Shepard's suborbital flight restored faith in the U.S. space program.
NASA continued to trail the Soviets closely until the late 1960s and the successes of the Apollo lunar
program. In July 1969, the Americans took a giant leap forward with Apollo 11, a three-stage
spacecraft that took U.S. astronauts to the surface of the moon and returned them to Earth. On
February 5, 1971, Alan Shepard, the first American in space, became the fifth astronaut to walk on
the moon as part of the Apollo 14 lunar landing mission.
