Hello [Manager’s name],

I would like to attend the Women in Leadership Certificate Program offered by CPABC. It will provide great value to my personal and professional development, as well as to our organization. The program focuses on enhancing the skills, knowledge and connection for women in the accounting profession to move forward in their career and leadership journey.

By attending this program, I will:

• Develop strong inter-personal relationships to support my own and other’s growth as leaders and financial professionals
• Grow my professional network
• Develop practical skills like negotiation skills, communication and presentation strategies
• Learn how to be a more effective and resilient leader  
• Obtain 15.5 CPD hours

The CPABC Women in Leadership Certificate Program is a series of seminars and connection sessions:

• 1.5hr PD seminars (6 total)
• 1.25hr reflection and connection sessions to build relationships and apply the learning from the PD seminars (5 total)

These seminars will be offered in a virtual live format and the cost of the program is $775.

[Alternate sentence if you have a PD Passport: These seminars will be offered in a virtual live format and I can use my CPABC PD Passport for this program, which will reduce the cost.] 

Thank you in advance for considering this request and please let me know if you have any questions or need additional info.

I look forward to connecting with you on this topic.

Thank you,
