If you've ever considered growing your leadership skills, expanding your network, and deepening your commitment to the accounting profession, I highly encourage you to apply for the AICPA Leadership Academy - or encourage a colleague to apply. Applications are due June 30, 2026.
I was part of the Class of 2023, and it was one of the most impactful professional experiences I've had. The Academy challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, think differently about leadership, and make a deeper commitment to the future of our profession. Even more importantly, I built meaningful relationships and connections with professionals from across the country that continue today.
The experience is immersive, energizing, and designed for emerging leaders who want to make a difference in the profession and their communities.
