Welcome to IMA Cleveland East,
Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone in the chapter is doing well and staying safe! The student night in October did not take place as planned. However, I would still like to thank Dale and Jeff for agreeing to present to our student members. We hope to have Jeff Davis present at a technical meeting sometime in the spring. Probably for the remainder of the year we will be hosting all technical meetings virtually. This seems to be working well as IMA members from all over the world can attend our meetings. Also, please take the time to search other chapters and see if they are hosting a meeting you may like to attend. This can be a free and convenient way to gain CPE.
The Controllers Workshop will take place the morning of November 20th. This is an opportunity to earn four hours of CPE. We have four speakers covering areas from Excel to Tax updates.
The Cleveland East Chapter will also be awarding a scholarship this year. This will be the Ernest Brass III Memorial Scholarship and will be for $500. Ernie had been an integral member of the chapter and an IMA for nearly 40 years. Any Accounting students in the area should contact a board member for information of the application process. To our chapter members, please pass this along to any students you may think would be interested.
Finally, if any members of the chapter would like to hold a position on the chapter's board there are positions available. For our younger members, this could provide an opportunity to gain some leadership experience to boost their resume. Feel free to contact myself or any of the chapter's board members.
