The Pittsburgh Professional Chapter was organized in 1980 and revitalized in 2008 to unite accounting and finance professionals, as well as students with similar interests and ideas. The Chapter's goals and objectives are designed to promote and develop the professional skills of its members; to encourage and assist minority students entering into the accounting and finance profession; to encourage cooperative relationships with other professionals; to represent the interest of current prospective minority accounting and finance professionals; and to promote the interest of the Greater Pittsburgh area business community.
