Your Pathway to Professional Membership for Graduating Students

It is your last year of undergraduate or graduate studies or you've recently graduated... So what’s next?

After graduation, Professional Membership is the next level of involvement with NABA. Transitioning from a student member to a professional member is easy and best of all, it’s FREE

NABA’s CPI (College Pipeline Initiative) Program is a student member benefit that allows recent college graduates to continue their membership with NABA as they transition from student to professional membership. The CPI program provides recent graduates with a twelve month complimentary professional membership and provide them with the opportunity to receive professional guidance from a local chapter mentor in the finance and/or accounting profession. In addition, CPI participants will be eligible to vote during National Elections which will give them an opportunity to directly influence the direction of the Association.

Professional membership offers an abundant array of educational, networking, and service opportunities. NABA advances its members’ interests at each level of the career cycle, from aspiring students to seasoned industry leaders and executives. The NABA network extends to accounting, consulting, finance, tax, information technology, and more.
