Welcome to the San Diego Chapter of IMA
I received my CMA designation in November of 2021 and since have been looking for ways to
be involved with the IMA. At first, I was active on the forums giving my two cents and attempting
to assist anyone with questions. I reached out to the San Diego Chapter to see if I could
volunteer or help in any capacity. Didn’t hear back and later found that the chapter took a hit
through Covid and member engagement was lacking.
Fast forward to FY 23-24 when our previous president Pem Smith revamped the chapter. Happy
to say we received the Bronze award last year from the IMA. I joined the chapter last year as
the VP of Member engagement and found what I was looking for in assisting other accounting
professionals. This year myself and the board will be actively reaching out to our members to
assist in where we can. Our Controllers Council series will have some learning objectives to
assist businesses professionals and provide necessary CPE. We also have events in the works
for students and networking.
Before there was much structure in the field, the IMA was a way accounting professionals could
assist each other and move the profession forward ethically and efficiently. We hope to do more
of the same. We are back up, running and ready to be a resource to our members so please
drop us a line and keep your eye out for upcoming events.
Andrew Murphy CMA,
President, San Diego Chapter FY 24-25
