*John Sturgeon Earns the Third Annual Don Breimeier Memorial Scholarship!

The Don Breimeier Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the legacy of Breimeier, who served the MSCPA as executive director from 1965-1993.  He moved the Missouri Society of CPAs from its humble beginnings and built the foundation for much of the successes that the profession enjoys today in Missouri.

As the judges’ highest-rated 2007-2008 applicant, John Sturgeon will receive an additional $1,000 award on top of the $1,000 he earned as part of the LEAP Scholarship Contest.  This is the second consecutive year that Sturgeon has earned a LEAP Scholarship.
