CEO CORNER

Dear Hannah,
 
This summer is flying by! For those of you with kids in college, you're probably already packing and prepping them to take on their freshman, sophomore, junior or senior year! For the MSCPA, this is the time we start thinking about scholarships. This year with your support, we hope to reach over $1 million in scholarships awarded to aspiring accountants. For these kids, with their inspiring stories and big dreams, scholarships will make all the difference – allowing them to focus on academics rather than worrying about how to pay next month's rent or tuition.

To "meet" some of our scholarship recipients, click here. The Women's Golf Outing in June raised enough to fund five scholarships, so we are on the right track, but we need your support. Every contribution for the future of accounting "counts" on us!

Have a great weekend!

Amy Pitter
 
MSCPA President/CEO
