I’d love to hear your feedback and answer your questions. Drop me a note at chairman@tscpa.net.

Welcome to your May/June digital issue of Today’s CPA. This issue is traditionally focused on celebrating our successes as a professional community as we close out our membership year on May 31. But these are unprecedented times – nothing is traditional right now for any of us.

We had many successes over the past year, very worthwhile and exciting developments that absolutely deserve celebration and we’ve highlighted some of them on the following pages. But we would be remiss if we didn’t focus this issue on what you need most from us – updates on how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting our profession and information about where we go from here as we serve those who are counting on us to know what’s next.

As you click through the pages of this digital issue, please take time to learn about the resources and programs available to you as a benefit of membership. I know many members have leaned on their TXCPA connections, the TXCPA Exchange forums and member communications more in the last few months than ever before. We intend to continue to deliver the latest news, as well as uplifting stories about how our members are adapting and leading in these unprecedented times.

You’ll also find in this issue updates on how we delivered on the five priorities we set last June as we kicked off what we now know will be a year we’ll never forget. Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your chairman in 2019- 2020 and thank you for the part you’ve played in all of our achievements. Your continued trust in, and dedication to, TXCPA ensures that we continue to benefit from the strength in our numbers as we come together to lead our clients, employers and communities into recovery.
