“I scheduled a classroom visit with a former high school teacher, and they were very excited to have an alumni speak to their business students. I would encourage all CPAs to take advantage of this program because teachers are looking for real-world stories to share with their students.” — Brian Benson, CPA, VSCPA Member since 2017
