Good evening members,

The board of the Ann Arbor chapter has chosen to cancel its Thursday May 21, 2026 in person meeting.

The event is too close to the Memorial holiday weekend and likely to conflict with holiday and travel plans.

We will be back for sure in September 2026 and if any other sessions are scheduled, you will be notified here.

Thank you for your understanding,

■ 企業価値向上への経営管理の基盤となる「FP＆A」という機能 / 金融機関によるモニタリングの再設計や人材育成にも貢献 (2026/4/3)

資本コストや株価を意識した経営が求められる一方で、日本企業ではCFO機能の不在や、本社と事業部門の分断により、経営管理の実装が十分に進んでいないケースが少なくありません。こうした構造課題は、企業価値向上に向けた実行力を弱めるだけでなく、金融機関による事業性評価や融資後モニタリングの高度化を妨げる要因にもなり得ます。

きんざいOnline掲載の解説記事では、企業が備えるべき経営管理機能としての「FP&A（Financial Planning & Analysis）」に焦点を当て、企業・金融機関双方の視点、ならびに人材育成の方向性について考察しています。

After gathering feedback from volunteers and planning committees around the world, IMA  is updating the chapter board structure and volunteer recruitment process to broaden participation, reduce pressure on current leaders, and create a clearer, more sustainable path forward for chapters.

What's Changing 

A Simplified Board Structure: We're moving to four elected board positions, replacing the current structure of president, secretary, treasurer, vice president of engagement, and at-large directors.  

The new four elected positions are:  

Submit your application for one of these four board positions here.  Note: Current board members will need to re-apply

Flexible Volunteer Roles: We're also creating volunteer roles with less required time commitment to give members more options to contribute without taking on a full board seat. 

Submit your application for one of these flexible volunteer roles here. Note: Current non-board/committee members will need to re-apply

Term Limits: Elected officers may serve a maximum of four consecutive years in a single position before taking a one-year break. Exceptions can be approved by IMA staff if a replacement hasn't been identified. 

IMA Will Now Handle Volunteer Recruitment: IMA staff will recruit volunteers for chapters across all regions.

Applications are open now and will close April 30. 

Thank you for your continued support of your local IMA chapter!

In honor of IMA | Institute of Management Accountants Member Appreciation Week, the IMA - Greater Philadelphia Chapter would like to share the following remembrance, written by former Chapter President Rob Miele, in honor of our friend and Chapter President, Michael Schor. 🙏 Mike was an enthusiastic and committed leader and volunteer for many years and will be dearly missed by all.

From Rob:
I met Mike Schor about six years ago at an IMA student night. He thought Philly would be a fun Chapter to join, so he transferred. His infectious laughter soon became a regular part of our Board meetings.

Mike's leadership proved invaluable for navigating those days of quarantines. Before long, he was organizing and presenting well received webinars. He energized and grew the Board, and our monthly video calls became known as the Chapter Chat.

Getting back to live events meant that we got to see Mike's warm personality up close. For CPE or social gatherings, Mike was happy to be there, often with his wife Lori helping him with his presentation, or welcoming people as they came in.

For a few years, right up until our last Chapter Chat in December, Mike fought hard to project a positive view of his health. A round of treatment, another remission, and the old vitality seemed to come roaring back.

Sadly, we lost Mike on Wednesday, January 28th. Remembering our Warrior, I guess, will help us face our own struggles with the same bravery. But right now, we’re just missing him, as are Lori, his students, colleagues, and his many friends, who are all so glad we got to know Mike.

Rob Miele
