Gregory Walcott
President

I currently reside in Toney, Alabama. I consider myself a lifelong learner, and as such, I do indulge in quite a bit of recreational reading. Some of my hobbies include cheering on and coaching a son, age 20, and daughter, age 13 in their various sports and academic endeavors.

I joined our Athens State University APICS chapter for the camaraderie and fellowship of like-minded individuals, along with the mentorship and guidance provided by our sponsors, which has thus far proven to be an amazing experience! We are looking to expand our membership, join us today!

Dominick Zarnesky
Vice-President

I am currently serving as the Vice President of the Athens State University APICS chapter. I am an IDP student in my penultimate semester. I will be graduating in April with minors in L&SCM and Project Management. I have lived in the Huntsville area for most of my life. I am married to my wonderful wife, Abigail. I am a legacy student at ASU.

Christen Woods
Secretary

My major is in Logistics and Supply Chain Management with a minor in Acquisition and Contract Management, and I hope to graduate in December 2022. Before moving to Alabama, I received my associate degree from the College of Southern Maryland in Business Administration and became a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society. When I am not doing coursework or involved in club activities, I enjoy reading, writing, and playing the guitar. I have greatly enjoyed my time with APICS and encourage anyone who is interested in joining to reach out to me with questions.

IMA membership provides opportunities for students to associate with practicing management accountants and see how they live, work, apply their knowledge, and learn that professionals are seriously devoted to their field and to high ethical standards.

Student membership in the Accounting Club has a threefold purpose:

1. To introduce management accounting to students planning careers in business
2. To strengthen the knowledge and commitment of those already on the way to management accounting careers
3. To demonstrate how IMA members work together to improve the science of management accounting

How to Join
It's simple to join the Athens State University IMA Student Chapter (Accounting Club), and we would love to have you join!

Here is what you need to do:

1. Be a student at Athens State enrolled in at least 6 hours
2. Be a student member of the Institute of Management Accountants (only costs $25 and details are below)
3. Email your IMA member number to Christopher.Nelson@athens.edu

That's it. It's so easy, and there are so many benefits you receive as a member. Being a member of the IMA gets you access to scholarships and awards, mentoring, conferences, publications, tons of discounts, and so much more. Being a member of the Accounting Club is just as beneficial. We go on plant and industry tours so you can see the things that we talk about in class come to life. We do tons of community service which improves our community but also boosts your resume (we have worked with CASA, Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, Limestone County Food Bank, and animal rescue organizations). We go to conferences and other educational events, compete with other student chapters across the U.S., have educational meetings on campus, and tons more. While our activities may be held virtually for the time being, you do not want to miss out on all our IMA Student Chapter has to offer.

You can be involved as much or as little as you want. We're not a high-pressure organization. But the first step is to become a member!
