2024 NASBA Regional Meeting Highlights

SHARE:

Each year, NASBA hosts its Regional Meetings in different locations across the country to bring together Board of Accountancy representatives, NASBA staff and various NASBA stakeholders alike. This year, the Eastern Regional Meeting was held in Louisville, KY, June 4-6, and the Western Regional Meeting took place in Omaha, NE, June 25-27.

Both meetings were a success and allowed attendees and staff to participate in the conference’s daily plenaries, topical breakfast meetings and breakout sessions. The closing celebration in Louisville took place at Churchill Downs, famous for hosting the Kentucky Derby. Attendees enjoyed Twilight Thursday races, tours and a live band with dinner. In Omaha, the ‘Dancing in the Garden’ closing celebration was held at Lauritzen Gardens, Nebraska’s Premier Botanical Garden, where guests enjoyed live music and a delicious meal.

In conjunction with the Eastern Regional Meeting, the NASBA Center for The Public Trust (CPT) hosted its annual StudentCPT Leadership Conference (SLC) in Louisville, KY, June 3-5. This year’s conference theme was “Empowered to Lead,” focusing on the resources StudentCPT provides and how the journey to being an ethical leader empowers students at work, on campus and in their communities. A total of 28 colleges and universities and 45 students were represented at the conference, with students ranging in age, areas of study and academic classification. CPT Board of Directors members also participated in the conference. Members David Costello, Donald Burkett (board chair) and Kymberly Messersmith served as guest panelist speakers, while others provided consultation during the case study competition. Students were able to hold open discussions on where ethical dilemmas are found, how to overcome them in life and in the work force and, most importantly, how to be empowered when navigating professionally on campus through activities and Q&A sessions with panelists.
