Meet the Young Professionals Advisory Council
The Young Professionals Advisory Council (YPAC) is a strategic task force focused on enhancing the value for young professional members and boosting engagement. Our goal is to connect you with opportunities that advance your career and develop your leadership skills.
As a YPAC member, you can network with peers at our events, expand your leadership toolkit at the Leaders’ Summit, give back through volunteerism and advocacy, sharpen your presentation skills by speaking to Virginia accounting students, and help guide the VSCPA in shaping the future of the profession.
