Dear Hannah,
I know many of you are working through your busiest time of the year, but here is something all our members can look forward to this spring! We've revamped our annual meeting this year – complete with a new name and a cool vibe that emphasizes the networking and fun that happens at this event. We're excited to see you at
MSCPA Connect on May 11 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the incredible WGBH in Brighton!
This "Party on the Pike" is the place to be to connect with hundreds of CPAs and accounting professionals from across the state as you enjoy an evening of networking, food and cocktails! We'll kick off our new membership year by welcoming our new Board of Directors, celebrating scholarship and award winners and recognizing new CPAs.
Accounting is
the
profession to be in, so come join us for a party with friends old and new! Tickets are $60 before April 30 ($15 savings), so get on our guest list now! To register for MSCPA Connect, click here. Your peers are already registering! See who you can meet at MSCPA Connect here!
