ROSELAND, N.J. – The New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJCPA) is accepting nominations for its 2025 Ovation Awards from June 3 to Aug. 15, 2025. The awards honor New Jersey professionals in six categories: Impact, Innovation, Emerging Leader, Exceptional Educator, Lifetime Leader and Woman to Watch.
The NJCPA Ovation Awards recognize the efforts of NJCPA members and those in the community who go above and beyond through selfless volunteerism, meaningful contributions and considerable efforts to improve the accounting profession as well as work to engage the next generation of young professionals. One member will be given the 2025 Lifetime Leader award for outstanding service over their lifetime to the NJCPA, their community, future professionals and/or their work environment.
Individuals can self-nominate or nominate a colleague. Only NJCPA members are eligible for the Emerging Leader, Woman to Watch and Lifetime Leader categories, but nonmembers are eligible for the other awards.
“We look forward to celebrating all our Ovation Award winners, whose dedication to the profession, their colleagues and their communities is unmatched. These awards are also a great way to recognize those unsung heroes in our paths who work tirelessly to help others and make accounting such a wonderful career route,” said Aiysha (AJ) Johnson, MA, IOM, CEO and executive director at the NJCPA.
Winners will be announced during the NJCPA IssuesWatch Live broadcast on Oct. 9, 2025, and profiled in a special section in the winter issue of New Jersey CPA, the NJCPA’s quarterly magazine. To submit a nomination, go to njcpa.org/ovation.
