mong other benefits of attending NCACPA’s Emerging Leaders Conference is the opportunity to associate and compare experiences with other up-and-coming CPAs. In case this is not done independently by attendees, this year’s conference included a roundtable session, which provided a structured forum for attendees to share their thoughts on topics important to CPAs, young and seasoned. The topics were selected by members of the Young CPA Cabinet and were meant to reach across all aspects of an emerging leader’s life—namely career, place of employment, life outside of work, the world, and government. The following are not scientific findings, but merely a reflection of the observations of those asked to lead the roundtable discussions. There were approximately 119 conference attendees. Of those who attended, 36 are in public accounting, 53 are in industry, 19 are students, and 11 did not specify.
