trustee emeritus Members

We appreciate the support that our Trustee Emeritus members have given to the Foundation and are grateful

that each one remains involved with us. The history and wealth of knowledge they have regarding the Foundation is of great value, as we would not be able to impact lives and do our part in the accounting profession.
