Five ISACA Members Earn Inaugural Chair Fellowships

Five ISACA members have been designated as the inaugural recipients of the ISACA Chair’s Fellowship Award for the 2024-2025 Board of Directors term.

Each of the awardees were finalists for a board opening for the current term. They are Tim Sattler (Hamburg, Germany), Sanja Kekic (Belgrade, Serbia), Vaibhav Patkar (Mumbai, India), Sanjiv Agarwala (Pune, India) and Hussam Khattab (Amman, Jordan).

As part of the program, recipients will:

• Be enrolled in the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) Directorship Certification program. The fellowship program will fully fund the cost of enrollment in the certification program, which prepares people for board roles with US-based organizations.
• Be matched 1:1 with a mentor from the ISACA Board of Directors for the next 12 months
• Be invited to assist with ISACA projects in collaboration with ISACA CEO Erik Prusch

“This new program will be an outstanding leadership development opportunity to prepare some of ISACA’s most promising leaders to continue progressing in their careers,” said ISACA Board Chair John De Santis. “I’m excited for each of these five fellowship recipients and appreciative of the ISACA board directors who have committed to mentoring them in the year to come.”

Along with board applicants, future fellowship recipients may also be outstanding ISACA volunteers at the chapter or global level.
