Grow your career network by joining a professional organization
"The Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants (VSCPA) is the leading professional association in the Commonwealth dedicated to empowering the CPA profession to thrive." VSCPA membership shows future employers your commitment to the CPA profession and demonstrates that you understand the importance of being part of a professional community. With leadership programs, mentorship, and scholarship opportunities, you will find ways to define your interests and harness your unique leadership skills.
"The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) is the national professional organization for Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in the United States. The AICPA’s mission is powering the success of global business, CPAs, CGMAs and specialty credentials by providing the most relevant knowledge, resources and advocacy, and protecting the evolving public interest. In fulfilling its mission, the AICPA works with state CPA organizations and gives priority to those areas where public reliance on CPA skills is most significant."
“The mission of the Accounting & Financial Women’s Alliance is to enable women in all accounting and finance fields to achieve their full personal, professional and economic potential and to contribute to the future development of their profession.” As a past president of the DC Chapter, I would be happy to connect you with the chapter leadership who is very supportive of students. Many of my past students got their first offers due to relationships they build with the members of this organization. And, this organization is NOT just for women! Everyone is welcome!
