The Leaders' Institute Sponsorship Opportunities

The Leaders' Institute is a two-day, all-expenses-paid program that seeks to develop future leaders in the CPA profession. Only the top 100 accounting students from across the state have been nominated for this prestigious honor.

As an Institute sponsor, you will have a unique opportunity to influence the best and brightest accounting students in Virginia. These students will enter their senior year of college following the Institute, giving you the opportunity to build relationships with them prior to graduation. Plus, some sponsorships offer you a first-hand opportunity to train these students — the kinds of students who could potentially become your employees!

All sponsorships include:

• Your firm's Web site listed on the VSCPA Educational Foundation's Web site
• Your firm featured in one issue of Disclosures, the VSCPA's bi-monthly magazine (circulation 8,400)
• A link to The Leaders' Institute sponsor list in VSCPA e-newsletters, distributed to VSCPA members
• Your firm's information listed in The Leaders' Institute event manual, distributed to all Institute attendees
• A booklet containing the résumés of all Institute attendees
