Vegas Electrified! NABA INC. Convention 2024 was on 🔥 How do you capture a whirlwind of inspiration, connection, and celebration? It's tough, but here are some of my highlights from the NABA Flow Convention in Las Vegas. The convention was beyond awesome under the visionary leadership of NABA President and CEO Guylaine Saint Juste St. Juste and Chairman Herschel Frierson. NABA has grown to 55 professional chapters and over 192 student chapters, and our financial position is stronger than ever. Our organization's growth is truly remarkable, propelling NABA to new heights. We celebrated our first NABA Juneteenth together - epic! Shoutout to our amazing partners who are truly invested in our successes! The men and women of NABA are equally incredible. Our professional and student leaders are amazing. Dr. Tasha Austin-Williams, Ph.D. continues to inspire as do our passionate and emerging students. The historical digital NABA museum was educational, and I was honored to make a small cameo on the screen. Lunch with students was as fulfilling as last year’s experience, and every student and young professional I met was engaged, energized, and motivated. The future is incredibly bright for all. I also had a fantastic time a session with Dr. Dessie Nash, PhD, Gen AI: Evolution or Revolution? Don’t Be Complacent. The speakers and presenters on the numerous fireside chats filled us with professional and personal development nuggets. Here are some of my memorable quotes from the event:     •   “It can be done.… if not, change the game and get it done.”     •   “Tell the stories.”     •   “Every single day, try to get better at what you do.”     •   “You can be anything you want; nothing is wrong with us.”     •   “Our students and professionals are bold, brilliant, and beautiful.”     •   "We don't plant trees anymore; we plant forests."     •   “Take care of yourself. Find your flow." FLOW - fostering leadership, opportunities, and wealth. Feeling incredibly energized and inspired by the collective power of NABA. Here's to continued growth, leadership, and a future filled with opportunities for everyone! #IN24FLOW #FindYourFlow #NABAFlow #LasVegas #Accounting #Leadership #Inspiration #BlackExcellence #NABAInsightFlowConvention #Leadership #Flow #Networking #ProfessionalDevelopment
