After joining CPA Manitoba in 2019, she set her sights on making the profession more welcoming, modern and future-focused. As Executive Sponsor of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion for the CPA profession in Canada, Tucker works with her counterparts to improve the diversity of the membership and seek innovative solutions to making the designation more accessible. These goals are also recognized in Tucker's leadership of Indigenous working groups, both provincially and nationally, that are committed to reducing barriers and providing tailored paths for Indigenous learners. Manitoba is currently facing a shortage of 185 to 221 CPAs, a challenge that fuels Tucker's creativity. "We are excited to modernize our programs to meet the needs of prospective CPAs and to support growth of the Canadian economy," she says. "Being a CPA opens the door to great career paths. It allows for a balance between personal goals and responsibilities, while doing fulfilling work that moves our economy forward." - Geeta Tucker, FCPA, FCMA, President & CEO of CPA Manitoba CPAmb.ca Happy International Women's Day!
