As part of the Accounts Payable Association’s ongoing work to support the Accounts Payable Industry, we are pleased to announce our latest initiative, the APA Rising Star Scholarship.
The APA strive to provide opportunities for Accounts Payable Professionals to not only build their network within our inclusive community, but to also develop their skills and expertise with a full range of courses and industry-recognised qualifications.
The APA Rising Star scholarship is a unique opportunity for one, well-deserving individual, to be enrolled onto an APA Technician Qualification at no expense to themselves or employer. In support of our community, the APA will fund the winner of the AP Rising Star award to undergo the industry-recognised Qualification.
The Rising Star Award is one of 12 trophies to be presented at the APA Awards Gala Dinner on 15th October 2024, which will see over 300 AP professionals come together in celebration of the best and brightest within the industry.
There is still time to nominate either yourself, or a colleague, for the Rising Star Award, as well as all other award categories, with the deadline to do so on 31st August 2024.
Find out more about the nomination process and how you can join the celebration on 15th October.
