SHARE:  In April, the NASBA Board of Directors announced that Daniel Dustin had been selected to become NASBA’s next president and chief executive officer. Dustin, who currently serves as NASBA’s vice president of state board relations, holds extensive expertise in accounting regulation and Board of Accountancy operations. His tenure as president and CEO will begin on August 1, 2024, following the retirement of current President and CEO Ken Bishop. As Vice President, Dustin serves as an advocate for NASBA’s 55 member boards and collaborates with NASBA’s executive leadership team, regional directors, and state board executive directors, to identify emerging issues for discussion during NASBA’s annual conferences, including its Annual Conference for State Board Executive Directors and Staff, Regional Conferences and Annual Meeting. He is also the staff liaison to NASBA’s Ethics, Executive Directors, Peer Review Compliance, Relations with Member Boards, and Uniform Accountancy Act committees. Before joining NASBA, Dustin was executive secretary of the New York State Board for Public Accountancy. According to NASBA Chair Stephanie Saunders (VA), “Dan’s long history and expertise in accounting regulation makes him uniquely qualified to assume the role as president and CEO of NASBA. I have had the distinct opportunity to collaborate with Dan over the years on key initiatives and programs including the Uniform Accountancy Act, CPA Evolution and Professional Licensure. This is an exciting time for our organization, especially as he will lead NASBA into the future to fulfill the mission of enhancing the effectiveness and advancing the common interests of the 55 U.S. Boards of Accountancy.” Currently, Dustin is a member of the AICPA’s National Pipeline Advisory Group (NPAG). He also works with NASBA’s Professional Licensure Task Force, which is charged with considering new concepts for CPA licensure that may be included in the Uniform Accountancy Act to update the current licensure model.
