He received the AICPA Special Recognition Award for his contributions to the profession. BLI’s learning programs will help enhance the Association’s offerings to corporate employers in upskilling and reskilling employees to meet ever-changing marketplace demands. Together, the Association and BLI will accelerate the introduction of new, innovative content for accounting and finance professionals.
