SCHOLARSHIPS, LIBRARIES, AWARDS

Robert Hauf, the Chapter's Vice President, presented a scholarship to Rachelle Stanley, a student in the Forensic Studies Program at Stevenson University, on Nov. 12, 2019. More than 50 Chapter members, friends, and associates, along with students, faculty, and administrators attended the breakfast event at Stevenson University's Owings Mills campus. Jim Kern, CPA, CFE, CVA, leader of the Forensics & Litigation Support Group for the accounting firm of Gross Mendelsohn, provided a presentation. In addition, Charlie Wilhelm and Joan Jacobson discussed their book “Wised Up," which was followed by a book signing.

Each year the Chapter may provide one or more scholarships to a student or students at Maryland institutions of higher learning with forensic accounting or fraud prevention programs. Academic advisors in these fields at schools such as Stevenson University and Salisbury University can provide details for their students.

The Chapter presented a $5000 check for Salisbury University's Fraud and Forensic Accounting Program during the 2019 Shore Fraud Conference held at the University. In addition, Robert Hauf, Vice President of the Chapter, made a personal donation to the program with the Chapter in mind.
