CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,

In these uncertain times, the Society is faced with hard decisions about what to do regarding our fall events. Providing options, so you can learn and connect in a manner that is comfortable for you, is our priority. That’s why all our conferences, even those offered in-person, will have a virtual option.  
 
At this time, we are evaluating our programs on a case-by-case basis and will inform you of any changes to the format previously communicated to you. To do this, we need your feedback. Please take this one-question survey to let us know if you prefer in-person or virtual programs this fall. There are no easy answers, but your insight will help us plan and make changes as needed.  
 
On behalf of the team, I thank you for your thoughtful input and your commitment to the Society and your profession during these rapidly changing times.  
 
Now, for some exciting news… please check your inbox on Wednesday, September 1 for a very special announcement from the Society. Please note: our website (mscpaonline.org) will be down for a period of time during the evening of Tuesday, August 31 as we prepare our announcement. 
 
We are proud to be your local, professional home and are eager to share our fresh, new look with you. 
 
Have a great weekend!  
 
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO
