National Society of Black CPAs (NSBCPA)’s Post

This one is special..... Earlier this year, I reached out to a few good friends in the profession for a discussion on equity, inclusion and belonging specifically on growing the pool of African American/Black students and college graduates entering the accounting and finance profession. All of them answered the call. Many of us within the profession are working to grow the pipeline broadly. During this series, I wanted to spend focused time on the challenge specific to African American/Black students and professionals, because the numbers are dramatically unrepresented within the profession. During the first four modules, I am joined by Herschel Frierson, Steven Harris, Kimberly N. Ellison-Taylor and Crystal Cooke for introductions, our stories, key takeaways for the series and pipeline solutions. Upon watching the first four of the series, you will find something for everyone. I hope you will watch, enjoy and join the conversation. Thank you Crystal, Herschel, Steven and Kimberly for honest, deep, rich and though-provoking discussions. I hope you are as proud as I am of the result. Thank you Barry Melancon, CPA, CGMA and Susan S. Coffey, CPA, CGMA for your constant support and partnership on this vision and making it a reality. Look for the launch of Modules 5 - 12 in coming weeks, on every other Sunday. https://lnkd.in/g-gt7Rk8
