Julie Klewer to be Honored as Life Member Julie S. Klewer, CPA, MBA, has been a respected leader serving the Arizona accounting profession for more than 30 years. The Arizona Society will honor Klewer in May at the ASCPA Annual Meeting. AZ CPA: Congratulations on your ASCPA Life Member honor, Julie. You were chair/president of both the Board of Directors of the Arizona Society of CPAs and of the Arizona State Board of Accountancy. How did those experiences compare?
t
Klewer: They both were equally amazing experiences. During my time at the Society, I had a chance to get to know Cindie (Hubiak) and all of the staff there. Cindie is an incredible leader and a wonderful, warm human being. The Arizona State Board of Accountancy was a challenge, interesting and very educational. I got a chance to work with some really smart people there, as well. Getting to know Monica (Petersen, the Executive Director of the State Board) and learning her management style, was great. So, I’m humbled that I’m getting recognized for just doing the things that I like, and I’ve grown personally and professionally as a result. Both Boards provided such different experiences. It was cool to be at the decision-making leadership
