| | | Dear Hannah,
Things are changing quickly in our profession, and we are always looking for ways to support our members through these complex times. One way we do this is by visiting firms to talk about trends in the profession, what’s new on the Hill and how members can take advantage of our offerings to be better equipped to succeed, both in their careers and the profession.
The agenda for each visit is tailored to the unique needs of the firm, and they last an hour and are eligible for one CPE credit. In the last year, we’ve been all over the state, and I’d love to visit your firm this spring. To schedule your visit, please contact me at apitter@mscpaonline.org.
Have a great weekend!
