CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,

The Society is your local, professional home and nothing matters more to us than hearing from you, our members, about what we can do to better serve you. That is why I’m thrilled to announce that we will host two virtual Listening Tours this fall to gather feedback and hear what’s working, what isn’t and how we can better support you! 
 
The Listening Tours are free to members and will take place on Tuesday, October 26, at 8:00 a.m. and Wednesday, November 3 at 8:00 a.m. While these meetings are interactive discussions with members, I will also cover professional issues, provide an update on MassCPAs and share hot topics we’re hearing in the industry. You can learn more here, and I hope to see you at one of these sessions!  
 
I’m also excited to share that the MassCPAs' Regulated Investment Companies (RIC) Committee will host its virtual fall infoshare on Thursday, October 21, at 8:00 a.m. The committee has developed a robust agenda that includes an SEC update, ICI brief and a discussion on Deloitte’s fair value pricing survey results. The best part? It’s free to MassCPAs members and provides 2 CPE credits. Click here to register. To learn more about the committee or to join, contact Jill Foley
 
Lastly, the Society will be closed on Monday, October 11. To those of you who are busy with the October 15 deadline, and to our members running the Boston Marathon – the finish line is near! You’ve got this. 
 
Have a great weekend!

MassCPAs President and CEO
