The AICPA Leadership Academy application period is now over.
Please revisit this page in early 2013 for the next launch of the Leadership Academy program.
The four-day program engages candidates in a self-examination of leadership, what that means and how that impacts their personal life, their career path, and the CPA profession. The interactive dialogue with the profession’s leaders and other Academy participants focuses on the issues currently facing the profession and direction the profession needs to take in order to remain a dynamic and active participant in the global marketplace. Candidates will have peer mentors, active leadership opportunities through both AICPA and State Societies, and be given a unique exposure to the most senior AICPA leaders, both during the Academy and through their follow-up assignments.
The Academy exposes the next generation of CPAs to a strong ethic of leadership and service while providing them with strategies to forge relationships to expand their competencies and empower them to become leaders within their organizations, communities and the CPA profession.
