AICPA COMMITTEE HONORED WITH DIVERSITY AWARD

The American Institute of CPAs' Minority Initiatives Committee has received the 2009 Diversity Section Excellence Award from the American Accounting Association. Candidates are evaluated based on the achievement and high level of success that may include public service in an area related to the individual's professional area and responsibilities, professional service, and service activities to the AAA and the Diversity Section.

The MIC won the award for its long-standing commitment to assisting underrepresented minorities in becoming CPAs through programs including student scholarships, leadership development programs, advertising campaigns and the support of efforts by strategic partners, including the National Association of Black Accountants and the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting. The committee also encourages diverse representation through financial support of the AAA Diversity Section and the PhD Project, as well as its Fellowship for Minority Doctoral Students.
