Dear Hannah,
Our team has been hard at work developing a new benefit just for our new and renewing members. Now that our new membership year is here, I’m so excited to share it with you…introducing CPE PLUS!
CPE PLUS is our brand-new benefit that gives MSCPA members access to 20 free CPE credits throughout the membership year (May 1, 2021 – April 30, 2022). These credits are from a group of pre-selected webinars covering a wide range of topics designed to provide you with the information you need to stay current on trends and the latest changes affecting the accounting profession.
The series kicks off on May 13 with a webinar on the 10 things CPAs need to know about the Employee Retention Credit. To learn more, click here.
Only current MSCPA members are eligible for CPE PLUS, and the sooner you renew your membership, the more credits you can receive for free. To check the status of your membership and pay your dues, click here.
Our members are the lifeblood of the Society, and we couldn’t do what we do without you. Thank you for your membership and we look forward to another year of prospering together – and offering you more perks like this along the way.
Have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO
