CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,

I was thrilled to attend the AICPA's Virtual Spring Council Meeting last week. This meeting was particularly interesting as much of the conversation centered on how the profession is adapting due to COVID-19, and what the future of accounting may look like in a post-pandemic world. AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon, CPA, CGMA presented some incredible insight that he's gathered from speaking with industry and business thought leaders and firms across the nation, and I'm excited to share his knowledge with you. 

The MSCPA is welcoming Barry for a special, one-hour webinar on Reimagining Accounting in Extraordinary Times on June 16 from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. Barry will discuss how the profession is addressing disruption and reimagining its services to remain trusted advisors in a complex, rapidly changing world. Topics will include the innovation of core services, new and emerging technologies and the evolution of CPA licensure. The Society is committed to helping you navigate this unprecedented time, so we are offering this webinar free of charge to members, and you will receive 1 CPE credit. To register, click here.

Your membership gives you exclusive access to learning opportunities like this, plus, resources and a community of peers who you can turn to for support throughout your career. If you have not already done so, please click here to renew your MSCPA membership
so you continue to receive these benefits. The deadline to renew is this Sunday, May 31.
