CEO Corner


Dear Hannah,

Giving staff opportunities to grow is one of the best ways to keep them around, so I'm thrilled to announce our brand-new MSCPA Leadership Series: The Route to the Top. Developed with feedback from managing partners and firm ambassadors, this program is a progressive series of half-day courses featuring dynamic speakers and thought leaders which will provide the training, learning and development that young professionals need to move their firms and companies forward. 
 
The Leadership Series launches this spring and incorporates networking at each half-day course for participants to sharpen their communication skills, which will help build confidence when speaking with clients, shareholders and other business influencers. 
 
This program will prepare young professionals to move into leadership roles at their firms and companies and is a can't-miss opportunity both for employers who want to keep their rising stars, and for those who are ready to lead their organizations. 
 
For details about the MSCPA Leadership Series: The Route to the Top and to register, click here. We're proud to offer this program as the direct result of your feedback, and we're always looking for ways to help our members. Please feel welcome to contact me if you have suggestions at apitter@mscpaonline.org.

Have a great weekend!
 
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO
