Our Chapter Advocates (CAs) play a crucial role in representing the interests and voices of our members. The Chapter Advocacy Council (CAC) is comprised of seven dedicated CAs, each serving a three-year term. These advocates are assigned to specific regions, ensuring localized and focused representation.
Every year, the CAs in their third year transition off the CAC and onto the board of directors, maintaining a fresh perspective and continuous advocacy.
CAs coordinate and attend regional meetings, represent chapters at all board and advocacy meetings, provide guidance to faculty advisors to enhance chapter operations, and assist chapters facing special circumstances, such as those on probation, petitioning chapters, or at risk of probation.
Chapter Advisors are dedicated to ensuring every member's voice is heard and valued.
I’ve seen firsthand how BAP empowers accounting students with leadership, networking, and career opportunities. Their partnership with IMA is invaluable in helping students succeed.
