Why did JD Sweid join CPABC’s Career Connect employer program? Senft: It was a great opportunity for me to connect with people interested in the financial management profession and I have hired students that I’ve met through the program.

How would you describe your organization’s relationship with CPABC and what do you envision for the future? Senft: Our people are the reason for JD Sweid’s success. As a firm believer in employees being given opportunities to succeed, I have always encouraged my staff to pursue continuous learning in the workplace.
