We received my thank-yous from Students and Universities for Ohio Regional Council's support in attending this year's Student Leadership Conference. Here are a few notes from students . . .
Thank you for your generosity in providing funding for our trip to the Institute of Management Accounts Student Leadership Conference in Anaheim, CA. It was a great opportunity to learn more about my chosen career and fun to spend time with classmates. The most impactful thing I took away from the conference is how “diversified” an accounting career can be. There is always room for improvement and endless possibilities. It was an experience I wish every accounting student could experience. Thank you again!

I wish to thank both groups (Student Affairs, SSC; IMA Ohio Regional Council) for providing the opportunity to attend the 2024 IMA Student Leadership Conference. Not only was it enjoyable to be able to travel, but the conference itself was highly informative and inspiring. One of the biggest takeaways for me was the idea that no opportunity to grow yourself and your career is a bad one. The path you take to achieve your success may turn out to be very different than the plan you had in your head. Aside from that I learned many practical things, such as what the FMAA and CMA tests are; as well as how accounting makes up the foundation of finance, which is the major I study. Again, thank you for such an amazing experience!
Sincerely,
Derek Burt
The conference provided an incredible opportunity to network with fellow IMA students from across the United States, which also helped me create strong connections. I was deeply impressed by the variety of engaging workshops and speaker sessions, each offering valuable professional insights into the accounting field. It served as a distinctive platform to enhance my knowledge of industry trends, develop new skills, and learn from the experiences of accomplished professionals. I am profoundly grateful and feel truly fortunate to be part of such an incredible community—thank you!

I'm so appreciative for getting the opportunity to attend the IMA Student Conference this year. It provided a chance to learn about some awesome opportunities that lie ahead, and to meet and hear from some high-profile individuals that we otherwise would never get to. My biggest takeaway was learning about a new accounting certification called the FMAA, which I believe I will be able to complete while still in college and distinguish myself from other graduates entering the workforce! Once again, I am very grateful for this opportunity and everyone who made it possible!

Thank you Ohio members for continuing support of students in our area. The trips this year to Anaheim were very costly for students and they really appreciated our contribution.
