Tee up to support the accountants of tomorrow

Jan 22, 2024 · 2 min read · AICPA & CIMA Insights Blog

A fulfilling career is more than personal achievement — it’s about giving back, uplifting others and supporting the next generation as they pursue their dreams.

You can support the next generation of accountants along their career journey and the future of the profession when you pair your AICPA® & CIMA® ENGAGE experience with participation in the Second Annual AICPA Foundation Golf Classic on Sunday, June 2, 2024. Located 25 minutes off the Las Vegas Strip at the Paiute Golf Resort, the day of golf and comradery kick-off the premier conference.

Register as a team of four, doubles or as a single player for chances to flex your golfing skills and win a variety of prizes. The winner of the putting contest earns a seven-night resort stay, and $100,000 could be yours if you can take the shot from 165 yards.

Participation in the event supports the AICPA Foundation which is committed to supporting and growing the next generation of accountants. The AICPA Foundation has been supporting aspiring accounting students for more than 100 years through scholarships, grants and fellowships, and career development opportunities. Last year’s inaugural golf event raised $63,000 for the Foundation.

“The initial thought for the Golf Classic was for it to be an event where people could come back year after year and play to support the profession,” said Christopher Radford, Senior Manager – AICPA Foundation Development & Fundraising. “Pairing it with ENGAGE made most since because of the thousands of accounting professionals who would already be in Las Vegas to attend the conference.”

Support the accounting and finance professionals of tomorrow and register for the Second Annual AICPA Foundation Golf Classic, or you can register for the Golf Classic with your ENGAGE 24 registration. If golf is not your sport, volunteer and company sponsorship opportunities are available.

ENGAGE and prosper

AICPA & CIMA ENGAGE main conference kicks off on Monday, June 3, following the day on the golf course. As in years past, ENGAGE 24 will be an immersive, educational and transformative experience. You’ll be connected to the latest developments in accounting and finance, including emerging technologies, and practical, future-focused trainings you need to advance in your career. Whether you’re looking to explore new facets within your field or explore a new career path, ENGAGE brings the profession together for unique learning moments.

“There are so many students out there who have the same dreams or have already started the journey of becoming a CPA, but the cost of education is often too big of a mountain to climb,” said Radford. “By supporting the Foundation through this event, you are helping many students pursue and accomplish their dreams, while also supporting the future of accounting through the student pipeline.”

The four-day conference will be held at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas — onsite and livestream options are available. Register for the conference today.

When you engage in your career and personal development, you can uplift the next generation of accounting professionals and ensure everyone prospers.
