CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,

Our new membership year has officially started! Earlier this week, you were emailed your dues invoice for the fiscal year, beginning May 1. You can renew your membership here or call us at 617.556.4000.
 
We have so much in store for members this year and are always looking for ways to better serve you. Please visit our website where you can learn about your exclusive member benefits, our upcoming networking opportunities and CPE programs and conferences. Also, watch your mailbox for our CPE course calendar, which was mailed to you this week.
 
I also hope you'll join us on May 8, as we celebrate the new membership year at our Annual Meeting and Networking Reception. Mingle with colleagues and friends as you enjoy cocktails, light bites and stunning views of the brand new, state-of-the-art Warrior Ice Arena, the practice facility for the Boston Bruins. We'll also welcome our new Board of Directors and Chairman John Micalizzi of RSM, recognize new CPAs and hear a special keynote address from Andrew Glincher, P.C. of Nixon Peabody. As managing partner of one of the fastest growing law firms in the country, Andrew will discuss the business case for diversity and inclusion and what's next for the Massachusetts workforce and their companies. This event will kick off the MSCPA's Year of Diversity & Inclusion, and I'm so excited to share our members plans for the year ahead. To register, click here. I hope to see you there!
 
Thank you for your continued support as we look to take this new membership year on by the horns. Have a great weekend!
