2025 Symposium: Gratitude & Reflection 📌 | |
|
|
The Dallas/Fort Worth Alliance of Black Accountants extends our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make the 2025 Student Symposium an unforgettable experience.
🏫 To our Students: THANK YOU for showing up with curiosity, confidence, and commitment to your future. Your energy filled every room and reminded us why this work matters.
💼 To our Corporate Sponsors: Your belief in developing the next generation of leaders continues to shape opportunities that reach far beyond the Symposium.
🎤 To our Speakers and Facilitators: Your willingness to be open and candid enough to share your journeys, lessons, and wisdom left a lasting impact on everyone in attendance.
A special moment of pride was the Scholarship Luncheon, where we celebrated students who embody academic achievement, leadership, and community service. Their accomplishments remind us all of what is possible when preparation meets opportunity.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to our Planning Committee for your vision, creativity, and unwavering commitment throughout the year. Your collective effort transformed ideas into impact and made this year’s Student Symposium one to remember. |
