CEO Corner
|
Dear Hannah,
While it's an exciting time with school recently being back in session and tomorrow marking the last day of summer, the rising costs of education makes pursuing an accounting degree a challenge for many. This reason, coupled with the profession's increasing talent shortage, is why I'm asking you to consider giving to the MSCPA's Educational Foundation, which provides financial assistance for programs that benefit students, educators and ultimately, you.
I am proud to say that the Foundation has awarded over $1,000,000 to deserving students since 2006. However, the level of need has never been greater, and with your support, we can help remove the barriers to enter the accounting profession, while filling firms and companies with qualified, diverse and motivated candidates.
Please click here to donate and to learn more about the Educational Foundation. Alternatively, you can contact Erica DeBiase at 617.303.2403 to make your contribution over the phone or mail a check to the Society, made payable to the MSCPA Educational Foundation.
Thank you for your support and have a great weekend!
Amy Pitter
MSCPA President/CEO
