As demographic trends suggest, a significant number of CPAs have retired recently or will be doing so in the near future. Many of these practitioners will be looking for ways to give back to their communities--or to their profession--during retirement. One way to do so is by becoming an executive-in-residence (EIR) for an accounting program at a college or university. An EIR role can be an excellent avenue for sharing practical experience with students, helping to prepare the next generation of accounting professionals.
