Need to Convince Your Boss?
Attending the ACA national conference is a perfect way to gain new knowledge, meet and network with like-minded professionals, expand your skillset, and expose yourself to new perspectives. While there are many obvious business benefits from attending, sometimes getting approval from management may require you to make a business case for attendance. We have provided a ‘business case for attendance’ letter template that may help when requesting approval to attend the conference. This template is a general reference tool that can be customized to suit your circumstances.
