Dear Hannah,
It’s a busy time at the MSCPA! We kicked off the new membership year last week at our Annual Meeting & Networking Reception, which took place at the New England Aquarium’s IMAX Theatre. It was a celebratory evening complete with networking, welcoming new board members and Chairman Mark Nichols, CPA, MBA, MST, recognizing new CPAs and a presentation from the vice president and CTO of the Boston Celtics. Thank you to everyone who attended and made the event a success! To view the photo gallery, click here (to download photos, use password: annual18).
With the new membership year officially underway, it’s also time to renew your dues. Second dues notices were emailed to you earlier this week and are due by May 31. We have planned several exciting conferences, networking events, roundtables and CPE courses this year, and we don’t want you to miss out on opportunities to connect with peers and grow in the profession! You can renew online here, or call us at 617.556.4000. If you have questions about your membership, please feel free to reach out to Amanda Curtis at acurtis@mscpaonline.org.
To all of our members who are also moms - I wish you a relaxing and joyful Mother’s Day!
Have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO |

| Massachusetts Equal Pay Act: What Employers Need to Know (5/14) |
| The Massachusetts Equal Pay Act goes into effect on July 1, 2018. It calls for all Massachusetts employers, irrespective of size, to pay men and women the same for comparable work. The law imposes strict liability; even if one believes in good faith that they are compliant but are not, one is liable for damages under the bill as enacted. Find out what this means for you, your practices and your clients in this session. |

Leaders naturally wield power and influence at work; however, not all use those invaluable tools with integrity. You'll learn the risks and consequences of misusing power and why "winning" so often really means losing. We'll examine the AICPA Code's integrity standard and other professional standards pertinent to appropriately exercising power and influence.
