scholarships at six Nebraska community colleges. These awards are designed to support students who intend to continue their education at a four-year college or university in Nebraska and plan to spend their career in the state. By investing earlier, we are creating stronger, more accessible pathways into the profession across our state. Our Foundation’s Honor Roll of donors (see page 12) reflects the generosity and commitment of members and friends who believe deeply in the future of this profession. Your contributions fund scholarships, educational outreach initiatives like JoinTheFun.cpa, and programs that encourage students to pursue accounting and the CPA designation right here in Nebraska. You are not simply giving—you are investing in the profession’s next generation of trusted advisors. All of this represents meaningful progress, but it is also part of a larger story. A story of a profession that adapts without compromising standards. A story of leaders who step forward. A story of members who advocate, mentor, donate, and engage. Thank you for being part of that story. Joni Sundquist is president and executive director of the Nebraska Society of CPAs. You may contact her at (402) 476-8482 or joni@nescpa.org.
