CEO Corner
|
|
Dear Hannah,
The June 30 deadline is just around the corner! If you are renewing your license this year, or if you’re simply looking to earn quality CPE and get the latest developments on hot topics, I encourage you to browse our expansive CPE library.
There are also three important CPE updates
you should know about:
- The
State Workforce Training Fund Express Program, which will reimburse 50% of your training costs, no longer has a limit on firm or company size! All MSCPA CPE programs qualify for this program, so take advantage of this opportunity to save while developing critical skills your staff needs to be successful at your firm or company. To learn more, click here.
- The
Business Skills Bootcamp kicks off on June 16!
This new series offers a comprehensive toolkit of business skills designed for staff who are just starting out. There are six sessions spread throughout the summer and fall, and those that attend all six will earn a certificate upon completion of the series. For details, click here.
- Back by popular demand –
next Wednesday, we will host another webinar on the Employee Retention Credit: 10 Things Your Clients Need to Know!
If you couldn’t attend the first webinar, make sure to check this one out. It’s free to all members as part of our new CPE PLUS program – so renew your membership (if you haven’t already) and take advantage of our free CPE!
We are working to add more programs like these to help you learn, connect and prosper in the year ahead – stay tuned for updates and have a great weekend!

MSCPA President/CEO
