LEAP

All MSCPA Student Members who are graduating from college May, 2009 and after are eligible to become LEAP Campus Colleagues. Our Campus Colleagues will be those students at each campus who help develop the Missouri Society of CPAs presence on their campuses and in their accounting departments. The LEAP Campus Colleague program is also designed to help student members build leadership, communication and organizational skills.

The responsibilities would include (but are not limited to) the following:

Host a MSCPA staff person at one of the campus accounting club (Beta Alpha Psi) meetings.
Keep up on any career fairs or meetings where MSCPA could have a presence.
Promote the LEAP program with fellow accounting students. (Brochures, fliers, posters, etc., will periodically be sent. MSCPA would expect the Colleague to distribute these.)
The Colleague can also institute his/her personal marketing plan to expand the MSCPA’s campus profile.

The Student will benefit from this program by:

Broadening his/her communication and leadership skills.
Networking with fellow accounting students.
Receiving credit toward responsibilities for Beta Alpha Psi.
Gaining free student membership during the Colleague’s term. The term will be determined by the student. Once the student has graduated, they are not longer eligible for the position. MSCPA reserves the right to terminate a Colleague’s position at any time.
Building his/her resume with the addition of LEAP Campus Colleague.
Receiving a gift certificate in appreciation of your assistance.
