Dear INSERT_FIRST_NAME,
While you’re hunkered down for busy season, I quickly wanted to make you aware of three important updates at the Society:
- MassCPAs is updating our website, and beginning on Tuesday, March 8, at 12:00 p.m., you will be required to update your password on masscpas.org. This is a one-time change that is needed to protect your information on our website.
Instructions for updating your password will be emailed to you on March 8. The HUB is a popular resource this time of year, and you will continue to receive the Daily Digest emails and can reply to posts within your email, but you must update your password before you can log into The HUB, post a discussion and click links or view attachments within posts.
- March is Women’s History Month and Industry Appreciation Month! To celebrate, we are featuring members on our LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook pages throughout March. When you can take a break, check it out!
- Fitness is a great way to destress during this busy time, so I encourage you to join our virtual 5k on Saturday, March 19. Your $25 registration will benefit the MassCPAs Educational Foundation, which helps fund scholarships and CPA Exam vouchers for accounting students in Massachusetts! The competition is tough, as we consistently have more applications than we have scholarships, and your support is so appreciated. For details and to register, click here.
MassCPAs is here to support you during tax season and beyond. If you need any assistance or have feedback on programs we can offer to better support you, please contact us at 617.556.4000.
Amy Pitter
MassCPAs President and CEO
