2. Three rounds of seated discussions with government accounting professionals (about 20 minutes per round)

b. 5 to 6 students per table with 1 to 2 professionals

"As you well know, these students receive significant attention and information from public accounting firms in contrast to almost no information or attention from the public sector. Most students are unaware of the opportunities for accountants in government service. Accordingly, your participation in just talking with them will broaden their awareness and perhaps spark their interest in government service. We hope you'll join us for free food, soda, and great conversation!"
--Ross Okumura, AGA Hawaii Chapter President

RSVP Deadline: If you can participate, email Bob Hatanaka ([email protected]) by Friday, March 15th.

The UH Accounting Club and Beta Alpha Psi have generously provided parking.
