CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,
It's been wonderful seeing so many new and familiar faces at our CPE programs and networking events this spring! With the June 30 reporting deadline fast approaching, I wanted to make sure you're taking advantage of two new features on our website that will help you maximize your member experience!
Many of you are familiar with our CPE Tracker, which automatically records CPE credits taken through the MSCPA, and members can manually input any third-party course. Now, your Tracker can be saved as a PDF file, so you can easily upload and submit your record to the Board of Public Accountancy. Simply visit your Tracker, select your renewal year or date range and click "save as PDF." We developed this option to make it easier for members to renew their license. If you have questions, please contact Katlyn Ribeiro at kribeiro@mscpaonline.org.
Our members are our top priority, and we're always looking for ways to better serve you. Based on your feedback, we recently launched a "see who's coming" list on our registration pages so you can see who has already registered for a specific event or CPE program. We hope this will help you get a head start on networking, so you can get more from our events. To see an example of this list, click here, then click "see who's coming," which is located above the agenda, on the right of the page. Please note that your name will not appear on the list without your consent and you must opt-in to this list during the checkout process.
Have a great weekend and go Bruins!
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO
