Lifetime Associates

At its fall 2002 meeting, in order to appropriately recognize members whose contributions to Ledger & Quill, the School of Accountancy, DePaul, the accounting profession and the people and city of Chicago have left each far better, the Ledger & Quill Board approved a new category of membership: Lifetime Associates.
