The Bookstein Institute provides professional growth and development opportunities through advanced studies in taxation, scholarly research, networking events and service learning projects in taxation. The Institute promotes and supports activities that encourage a greater understanding of the dynamic field of taxation. More information: Bookstein Institute for Higher Education in Taxation.

"My goal is to empower others to reach their potential in the field of taxation and to serve the unmet needs of the underprivileged in our community."
