Objective: The mission of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Initiatives Committee is to facilitate an environment for discussions and actions that will encourage representation and incorporate and maintain an inclusive atmosphere for a wide range of individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ and allies.
Qualifications/requirements: Be a member of AICPA. Members should have both an interest and organizational experience in addressing LGBTQ+ issues. Relevant experience may have been gained in the workplace or in a professional association. Those who identify as LGBTQ+ and allies are welcome to apply.
Meeting format: Committee meetings will be held three or four times per year, with a mix of virtual and in-person, and are expected to last no longer than 2 business days. Typically, virtual meetings are two to three hours, and in-person meetings are two ½ half days (starting at noon EST on the first day). Monthly virtual touch base calls are held at the discretion of the Chair and scheduling availability. Task force meetings may be held more frequently and based on the availability of the designated committee members.
