Welcome to the IMA Ohio Regional Council. I am excited to be the chair of the ORC for the 2021 – 2022 year.
After the past year of chapter operations being completely online, we are all looking forward to being able to have some in-person events and see each other once again. I am also looking forward to meeting new people.
President's Message
Hello members and potential members of the Ohio Regional Council (ORC) of the IMA,
It is my honor to serve as President of the IMA Ohio Regional Council for the 2021 – 2022 year. During the last several years, I have had many opportunities to meet IMA members throughout our region through my various roles in the Akron Chapter and the Ohio Council. We have many dedicated accounting professionals serving our local chapters and a great group of faculty and student members at schools throughout our region. I am looking forward to listening to new ideas and working to improve what the Council can offer our members.
I encourage you attend the continuing education opportunities our chapters offer each year. Chapter meetings provide opportunities to hear outstanding business professionals share their expertise on a wide variety of topics and are excellent venues for networking, whether they are in-person or online.
During the upcoming year, I am going to be working with the Council to start to develop a five-year strategic plan. We will be looking at ways to allocate resources to chapters and ways to engage our academic members – both faculty and students. We will continue to focus on how to support our membership in developing their careers and seizing the multitude of career opportunities the profession offers.
As always, the Council is only as strong as its members. We welcome any input you have on improving our Council and encourage you to get involved by attending Council meetings. Thank you for your support of the Ohio Regional Council. I look forward to working with all of you during the upcoming year!
Wendy Tietz
