Giacomelli is currently an audit supervisor at WilkinGuttenplan in East Brunswick, NJ.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Professor Stives is that one professor that you will never forget. He teaches with real-world experience and shows how, contrary to popular belief, accounting is actually fun,&#8221; Giacomelli said. &#8220;As I entered the accounting profession with enthusiasm and drive to do more than just crunch numbers, I understood what Professor Stives\u2019 goal was in his classroom. He teaches the whole picture of accounting and the importance of being well-rounded, and I couldn\u2019t have picked a better nominee for the Ovation Award.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the award, Stives was recognized by peers, colleagues, members of the community and the NJCPA for his significant contributions in advancing the accounting profession. NJCPA Ovation Awards were distributed across six categories: Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion; Exceptional Educators; Emerging Leaders; Impact; Innovation; and Women to Watch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it\u2019s a great time to acknowledge those individuals who went above and beyond during this past year. The accounting profession is on the cusp of so many changes that it\u2019s important to thank those who are leading the charge,\u201d said Ralph Albert Thomas, CPA (DC), CEO and executive director at the NJCPA.<\/p>\n<p>The selected winners presented leading-edge ideas at their jobs, with the use of technology or in assisting clients\/customers; made an impact in their communities; improved and enhanced the well-being of their employees or staff; exhibited leadership with the next generation of CPAs; made their mark in classrooms; promoted an open and diverse accounting profession; or were honored for a lifetime of dedication.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpapracticeadvisor.com\/accounting-audit\/news\/21227432\/new-jersey-society-of-cpas-honors-41-ovation-award-winners\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-40802256385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/06\/njcpa.60ccf20dbcaa8.png\" alt=\"New Jersey Society of CPAs honor Stives\" width=\"250\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/06\/njcpa.60ccf20dbcaa8.png 250w, https:\/\/www.monmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/06\/njcpa.60ccf20dbcaa8-150x101.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Douglas Stives, MBA, CPA, specialist professor in the Accounting Department in the Leon Hess Business School, was honored as an &#8220;Exceptional Educator&#8221;
