Welcome Message from Cristina Florio, Director-Focusing on International
Dear Presidents of the Accounting Academic Associations worldwide,
Dear AAA Members,
Dear Visitors of the Global Gathering website,
I am pleased and honored to serve the American Accounting Association (AAA) as the Director – Focusing on International for 2023-2026.
As you might know, the Global Gathering brings together the presidents of accounting academic associations worldwide. The Global Gathering’s primary purpose is to allow its members to share experiences, resources, and initiatives related to topics they consider important and worthy of attention nowadays.
Twenty Associations have joined the Global Gathering since the AAA established it. In 2023, the Global Gathering welcomed the Bangladesh Accounting Association. We all look forward to expanding the network further in the future!
The Global Gathering offers its members several opportunities to share experiences, resources, and initiatives. First, the website is a repository where all Global Gathering members can upload and share information with academics worldwide. If you are interested in teaching or research in Accounting, please scroll down the Global Gathering Homepage and find the list of the Associations that are current members of the Global Gathering. Clicking on the links provided, you will learn more about them, the national and international conferences and workshops they organize, and the resources they eventually offer access to.
Moreover, the Global Gathering meets a couple of times a year, usually once in person at the end of the AAA Annual Meeting and once online at the beginning of a new year. These are unique opportunities to collaborate, share initiatives of the several Academic Accounting Associations, and provide feedback on relevant topics and activities.
I hope you find this information and the Global Gathering’s website valuable. Please share your ideas on possible new content that you would like to see on the website and reach out to me (cristina.florio@univr.it) or Barbara Gutierrez (barbara.gutierrez@aaahq.org) should you need further details. We will do whatever possible to serve your needs!
I hope to see many of you in Washington, D.C., in August 2024!
Sincerely,
Cristina
