President's Message

Hello Everyone,

My name is John Wisse, and I would like to welcome you to the website of the Bergen-Rockland-Meadowlands Chapter. I have been an IMA member for 25 years, and the resources from this organization have been invaluable throughout my professional career. IMA research and publications have helped me to improve financial processes, and implement best practices at companies I have worked for including AT&T and PSEG.

One of the most valuable advantages of IMA membership is networking with other professionals at chapter events. Our location within the New York / New Jersey / Connecticut metropolitan area gives us an advantage in attracting great speakers and IMA members to attend our meetings and network with. Participating in a local IMA chapter provides members with the latest information in management accounting while earning continuing professional education (CPE) credits. It also helps you to make new connections, exchange ideas, and obtain advice from other accounting and finance professionals.

Chapter leadership opportunities are also available to chapter members, and provide excellent leadership experience. Our chapter is trying to expand the number of members attending our meetings and is seeking new Board members. Please reach out to any of our Board members listed at "About Chapter/Chapter Board" location of our website (link above) to discuss your interest in joining your Chapter Board.

I look forward to serving as the Bergen-Rockland-Meadowlands Chapter president in the coming year.

Best regards,

John C. Wisse
