The Association of Government Accountants (AGA) -
Boston Chapter is pleased to offer one (1) George E.
Brady Memorial Scholarship of $1,000 to an AGA Boston
Chapter member or an immediate family member that is
enrolled in an institution of higher education with no
limitation as to educational major.
Background: The late George E. Brady was a member
of AGA from 1957 until 1996. He served as the Boston
Chapter President of AGA (1964-1965). George
graduated from Bentley College in 1933 and went to
work for United Fruit as an accountant. In 1941 he
joined the federal government as an accountant.
In 1954 George applied for his CPA license where he
had to demonstrate that he had the requisite two years
of public accounting experience. At that time,
government service was not automatically accepted as
public accounting experience. George met with the
licensing board and successfully demonstrated that his
13 years of government service had exposed him to the
same experiences encountered by public accountants.
As a result of his tenacity, the board granted him his
CPA license. He was the first person to have
government service recognized as public accounting
experience by the licensing board. George retired in
June 1973 as Chief of the Boston Branch Office,
Contract Audit Division, Auditor General, USAF after 31
years of government service.
