This event is part of a continuing series offered by IMA. Since its launch in 2014, the Women’s Accounting Leadership Series has hosted eight events, providing a forum for women (and men) in accounting and finance to exchange ideas on leadership development and strategies for success. It has grown to a semiannual event, attracting attendees from across the U.S. and internationally. Earlier this year, IMA held its first non-U.S. event at Vrije University in Amsterdam. The program drew more than 100 attendees from across Europe, all committed to sharing best practices for career success.
Future events are already planned for 2019: at Amsterdam’s Vrije University, on March 7; and at Baruch College in New York City, on May 3. Stay tuned for further details.
