That history serves as a solid foundation and positions us to move forward into what will be a successful future. CPAs will always be vital to meeting the demands of clients and employers as strategic business advisors in an ever-changing economy. We have created TSCPA 2020 – a dynamic three-year plan to take our organization into a vibrant future. TSCPA 2020 is the product of research, listening and thought-provoking conversations with members and volunteers from across the state. Our new vision – Empower Members to Lead and Succeed – succinctly sums up our most important charge. TSCPA is for you, our members, and helping you with success and growth is at the heart of all we do. Read on to learn about the guiding principles that will shape our program and service development, as well as the three pillars that our member service will be based upon and how we plan to deliver on our promise to you. We are committed to you and to those who follow in your footsteps as future Texas CPAs. TSCPA and our statewide network of 20 chapters will support you and serve with and for you representing the collective voice of 28,000 members. TSCPA is strong today. Through the implementation of TSCPA 2020, we are ensuring a viable and exciting organization for you tomorrow and for years to come. Sincerely,

The investment in our CPE gives me an incredible return with engaging speakers, timely content and a variety of course options. I believe in supporting programs that I know will deliver the best quality available.” Ken Sibley, CPA, CGMA, CFE, CFF – Dallas

In 2019, the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy will go through Sunset Review and it is critical that TSCPA has your support and involvement to ensure the future success of our profession. I’m glad TSCPA has my back and yours." Jesse Dominguez, CPA, CGMA – Austin
