Dear Stephanie,
I hope that everyone has been enjoying a
safe and relaxing summer. It has been a
pleasure to work with the Board of Directors for
the past couple of months. The Board is
enthusiastic about offering fresh and timely
professional development hours, implementing
improvements to the newsletter and website,
increasing member participation at events, and
preparation of the annual yearbook. The
yearbooks should be going out to members later
in September.
The Board is in the
process of finalizing a solid schedule of
programs for this next year. Some of the
events we are organizing include a full day
modular seminar program on A/P and A/R, an
international accounting round-table, and an
excellent 4-hour tax review presented by IMA
chapter Past-President Toni Spina. The
first meeting is tentatively scheduled to be a
student night in October. The final
schedule will be communicated
soon.
Throughout its history, the IMA has
understood the importance of student outreach
and mentoring. We continue that
tradition this year, participating in several
on-campus career fairs, hosting a student night,
and presenting a CMA overview
program.
We are also very excited to be
participating in Digital Rochester's Get
Connected event at Village Gate Square on
Tuesday September 9. Read more in the
Featured Article of this newsletter!
I
encourage everyone to forward this newsletter to
at least one other person that may benefit from
being an IMA member or learning more about the
CMA program.
Feedback, comments and
questions are welcome, so please feel free to
contact me or any board
member.
Regards,
David
Alkins
