He currently chairs ISACA’s Credentialing Board and is a member of its Strategic Advisory Council. He is also a London 2012 Paralympics Games Maker and a Freeman of the City of London.
 
“I am privileged and honored to continue to serve ISACA,” said Boardman. “It is an amazing organization to be part of and I am very excited to be involved in the association as it continues its global leadership in trust and value services to its members and the wider information systems community.”
