IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) recently expanded its commitment to diversity and inclusion in the accounting profession and marketplace:
IMA Signs MOU with ALPFA
IMA recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Association of Latino Professionals For America (ALPFA).
The MOU extends IMA’s relationship with ALPFA, the first national Latino professional association in the United States with more than 92,000 student and professional members across the country. The MOU provides opportunities for collaboration between the two organizations as they will partner with joint webinars, speaking engagements, and thought leadership focusing on diversity, certification, and the accounting profession.
“Diversity and inclusion needs to be a priority for all employers and professionals to remain relevant with employees,” said Linda Devonish-Mills, CMA, CPA, CAE, IMA director of diversity and inclusion. “At IMA, embracing diversity is a priority for us and our diverse membership base, volunteer leadership, and staff.”
