The NASBA Center for the Public Trust 2025 Annual Fundraiser
2025 marks 20 years of Being a Difference for the NASBA Center for the Public Trust (CPT). Created by former NASBA President and CEO David Costello, the CPT was established to be a beacon of good news amidst the financial scandals of the early 2000s. With Costello’s support, in conjunction with fellow founding members Milton Brown and Larry Bridgesmith, the CPT is still being the difference two decades later.
To commemorate 20 years of sustainable, ethical leadership, the CPT invites you to participate in our 2025 Annual Fundraiser: “The Chicago Outfit: 20 Years of Being a Difference.” Donations go towards the development, empowerment, and advancement of ethical leaders through a myriad of different programs, including the annual StudentCPT Leadership Conference (SLC).
The fundraiser will be held alongside the NASBA 2025 Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL, on Monday, October 27, 2025, from 4:45-5:45 pm CT. Annual Meeting attendees are encouraged to join us! Your donation acts as your entry ticket to a night of good music, great drinks and the best company. Those who cannot attend in person and participate in our raffle will receive a 20th Anniversary CPT Commemorative Coin as a thank you for their donation.
