President's Message

Greetings Members,

We have several noteworthy events this fall that I believe will not only strengthen your professional networks but also provide valuable insights into emerging trends in the accounting and finance industry. 

First, we held our Networking Event: Navigating the Accounting Profession, on October 30, 2024. This event, hosted in collaboration with the IIA at Mulligan's on the UMD golf course, offered a unique opportunity to meet with fellow professionals, share best practices, and explore the evolving challenges and opportunities in our field.

On November 14, 2024, we are privileged to have Dr. Liliya Roberts, Global Health Management and Administration Portfolio Director at the University of Maryland Global Campus, present a session on the Economics of Health and Healthcare. Healthcare continues to be a vital component of both the national and global economy, and this presentation will offer critical insights on how financial professionals can influence the management and outcomes in this sector. 

Following the webinar, I encourage you to participate in our Board Meeting from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm. This is a great opportunity for you to contribute to the strategic direction of our chapter. Your input is invaluable as we continue to align our efforts with the needs of our members and the broader profession.

As we move through the year, let's continue to build on the successes we've achieved. Together, we can make a lasting impact within our chapter, the IMA, and the accounting profession as a whole. I look forward to seeing you at these upcoming events and working with you to ensure our chapter remains a leader in the field of management accounting.

We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Thursday, November 14 at 6:30 p.m.
