ISACA uses an online application tool to best serve individuals interested in applying or nominating someone to serve on the ISACA Board of Directors. Please note that this is NOT associated with chapter board applications and only pertains to Directors of the International Board of Directors. 

Once you have reviewed the instructions below on how to navigate the system, click here to apply.

  • All application materials are due 1 January. 
  • Applicants should review the eligibility criteria and board attributes prior to submission.
  • Applicants must log in with their ISACA credentials to submit an application. The log-in screen offers options to reset your ISACA password or to create an ISACA account in order to log in.
  • The left menu offers options to edit incomplete applications. 
  • Applicants must complete all required fields and click "Save and Submit" in order to finalize the application. Once submitted, ISACA Governance staff will review all applications for completeness and eligibility and then submit the dossier to the ISACA Governance & Nominating Committee for review.
  • Entering information into "My Profile" does not update your ISACA account and is only applicable to pre-populate specific fields when submitting a nomination in this system. 

How to submit an application

  1. Complete the application form. Any questions with word limits are noted within the question and will be verified upon clicking the save and submit button when finished. Required fields are noted with a red asterisk.
  2. To return to an incomplete application to complete it by the nomination deadline, click "save" and then log back into the system to open applications "in progress" from the left menu.
  3. Applicants must click "save and submit" when finished with the application form. You will not have further edit access and can email ISACABoardNominations@ISACA.org to request the application be reopened if further edits are necessary.
  4. Applicants are required to review the Conflict of Interest Policy (PDF) and acknowledge their understanding within the application. Prior to the start of the term, selected Directors will sign the document for ISACA's records. 

How to nominate someone else

  1. You will be asked for your contact information as well as that of the candidate (person you are nominating.) Then you will be asked to describe and give specific examples of attributes this person has shown that makes you believe they would be qualified to serve as a Director on the ISACA Board of Directors. 
  2. You may save and return to this form at any time, but it is required that you click SAVE AND SUBMIT no later than 11:59 pm US CT on 15 December. It is recommended that nominators do not wait until the deadline to allow the candidate ample time to complete the application.
  3. Once you click SAVE and SUBMIT, the system will send the candidate an email containing a link to the candidate application. This form and at least one recommendation letter are due no later than 11:59 pm US CT on 1 January. It is recommended that you confirm that the candidate has received the email (and may need to check their spam folder) after clicking SAVE and SUBMIT.

Nominate Recommendation Letters 

  • All candidates must have at least one professional recommendation letter. Up to three letters may be requested. 
  • Current ISACA Board members and ISACA staff are ineligible to submit recommendation letters. ISACA Chapter board members and leaders may provide letters of recommendation for candidates, at their discretion.
  • It is the candidate's responsibility to collect and attach all recommendation letters to the nomination form and click "Save and Submit" by 1 January. Late submissions will not be accepted.
