Stark State College student accounting chapter
receives national award for seventh time in 10 years

The Stark State College student chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) has been named IMA’s “Outstanding Two-Year College Chapter in the Nation” for the seventh time in 10 years. The chapter was recognized recently at the IMA national conference in Phoenix, AZ. In addition to the trophy, the winning chapter received a $1,000 cash award that will be used for student scholarships at Stark State.

“The Stark State College IMA student chapter has been consistently successful in this national competition. The success of our chapter is due to our dedicated, hard-working students, the support of the faculty and staff at Stark State, and support from the Canton Chapter of IMA,” said Chapter Advisor Pamela Benner, CMA, CFM, instructor of accounting and finance technology. “Being a member of IMA provides our students with great opportunities to develop their professional and leadership skills. Our members are excited about this win, and plan to work just as hard in 2007-2008!”

The annual competition honors student chapters from across the U.S. for their efforts in promoting management accounting and financial management as professions and careers. Judges based the award on the chapter’s success with educational meetings, community service projects, awareness projects, linkages to area businesses and more.
