Micro Volunteering

No investment in time is too small for IMA. We offer a variety of short-term, ad-hoc volunteer opportunities for our members with interest in a variety of areas. Consider sharing your time and expertise to volunteer for one of our Micro Volunteering opportunities. 

Product Pilot Tester

Members with a passion for lifelong learning can serve as testers of our new educational products or online self-study courses and provide feedback on the course experience. In return for this short-term assignment, Product Pilot Testers can receive NASBA CPE (Continuing Professional Education) credits free of charge.

Research Panel

An important part of our mission is promoting leading-edge research and industry best practices. Members can share their thoughts and views on a variety of topics by participating in short surveys (10 to 15 minutes each) and can opt in or out at any time. Survey responses help us and our research grant recipients develop cutting-edge research relevant to the management accounting profession.
