Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that his membership in professional organizations, such as the American Institute of Certified Management Accountants (IMA) and the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR), required outstanding achievements indicative of sustained national or international acclaim.
