President's Message
In our new normal, August 31 is an important deadline. Before this date, as a member of IMA, register for key, no-cost CPE opportunities in the area of Data Analytics and Visualization. No-cost CPE is one of the many benefits of your IMA membership!

Many of you ask how you can help support our local IMA chapter. The Nation's Capital Chapter is working on several key initiatives, but a member who encourages others to join our IMA chapter is golden! Please share this path to joining the IMA with others: https://www.imanet.org/membership?ssopc=1

Our IMA chapter is here for you at every step of your career. At $230 a year for a regular membership, the no-cost CPE programs are very valuable! Please share the membership benefits with others as they may have an interest.

As with many professional organizations, we do not have any upcoming in-person events. We miss seeing each of you, but know you are safe at home! Wear a mask, encourage others to social distance, and work for our better tomorrows!

We look forward to announcing the opening of registration for the annual IMA Student Leadership Conference. Now an online only event offered at no cost to student members! For those not yet student members, the registration fee includes a one-year student membership so it is a win-win, low-cost networking and educational event! You too can consider attending in your role of working professional, encouraging student membership in our IMA!

Another path to IMA student membership for qualifying students is the IMA Accounting Honor Society. Again, please share with others as a goal to join or to recognize their accomplishments to date! The one-time fee includes a one-year student membership!

We thank each of you for your support of our chapter! Please share your thoughts with us on the website and by emailing me, your Chapter President. Be well! Be safe! Be IMA focused!

Best wishes as the seasons change and 2020 continues.
