    One of the most rewarding experiences of my career so far was serving on the     IMA | Institute of Management Accountants Global Board of Directors. Not only did it provide me with the opportunity to influence the direction of the profession, it also connected me to an international network that continues to grow. It is so much fun having friends and colleagues around the world that you can reach out to in case you have a question, or when you are traveling in their direction!

    The role also opened doors to engagement with professional bodies and institutions, CFOs, researchers, members, and dedicated volunteers that otherwise would have stayed closed to me so early in my career. I'm honestly enjoying being part of this community every day (but that can't be a surprise for those who know me!), and that's why I'm also so exited that IMA is currently accepting applications for the Global Board, with terms starting on July 1st, 2026. Interested?

    πŸ“… Be sure to apply before September 15 on: Institute of Management Accountants -
