Accounting Pipeline Initiatives

The mission of NECPAs' Accounting Pipeline Initiatives Community (previously the Accounting Career and Development Community) is to enhance relations among the accounting profession, accounting educators, practitioners and students; to assist accounting educators with the planning of presentations and career programs; and to attract, inspire and engage promising individuals into the accounting profession.

The Accounting Pipeline Initiatives Community is chaired by Shay Blanchette, CPA, of Babson College. It is a perfect fit for campus recruiters and members of academia. If you have questions regarding the community please contact the Staff Liaison, Allie Orlando.
