    “NASBA has had great success in fulfilling its mission over the past 12 years with Ken Bishop leading the organization as president and CEO. His successor must also be a dynamic, forward thinking, visionary leader, who will build upon that legacy and lead NASBA into the future by maintaining the organization’s relevance among State Boards of Accountancy, while preserving their regulatory role of protecting the public,” shared Barrera.
