Scholarships are available to enable every Board of Accountancy to have one representative at each of these two meetings.

NASBA President Ken L. Bishop encouraged all Boards to have their staff represented at both these conferences, as they not only present informative speakers, but they also offer outstanding networking opportunities for the exchange of advice on day-to-day Board of Accountancy operations.
