Ashlee McLean
Membership & Academic Engagement Coordinator
Ashlee McLean serves as the Membership & Academic Engagement Coordinator, where she bridges the gap between the next generation of accounting talent, the educators who shape them, and this advantageous profession.

Ashlee is also the staff liaison to the NCACPA Education Resource Group and the NC CPA Foundation, helping to amplify both student and educator voices, and advance scholarship initiatives across the state. A proud alumna of Howard University’s School of Business (the Real HU, HU! You Know!), she brings the Bison spirit of service and excellence to everything she does.
