About Our Chapter

The Nation's Capital Chapter

Serving Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland (including the Baltimore area)
Where Leaders in Accounting Management Meet (since 1932)

The Nation's Capital Chapter (#0044) of the Institute of Management Accountants was chartered in 1932.  We are here to help support the growth and development of Accounting and Finance Professionals and Future Professionals across Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland, including the Baltimore area.

 

Through providing regular chapter meetings, members gain access to a diverse and vibrant professional community, professional education, valuable information, and resources which will all assist in continued professional growth and development. Our Chapter welcomes any accounting or finance professional or student to participate in all that our chapter offers including opportunities to learn, network, gain leadership experience, and make a difference in the professional community.

Our Chapter also provides support for those who are actively pursuing or considering the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) credential by sponsoring a local CMA preparation program and making available a network of professionals with experience in the many topics covered on the exam.

 

Our regular chapter meetings are fun, educational, and engaging, but don't just take our word for it, come check us out!
