“One of the WICPA’s most important functions as a membership organization is to empower members to connect.”

Have you connected?

As a WICPA member, you are part of a community. One of the WICPA’s most important functions as a membership organization is to empower members to connect — to provide you with opportunities to collaborate, socialize and celebrate with your fellow members. One of those opportunities is WICPA Connect. This member-only online community is a primary benefit to learning and connecting with others in the profession. It includes your interactive member directory, where you can find and chat with members across the state. Connect is your link to discussing professional issues, posting questions, and sharing ideas and knowledge within a secure space. This easy access tool allows WICPA members to conveniently connect for conversations and questions. You can also contribute and download resources such as documents, whitepapers, articles, reports, guides and more! Do you have a question on an IRS rule, refund claims or the employee retention credit? Do you wonder how companies are handling the changing COVID guidelines? Reach out to fellow members on WICPA Connect to find answers from those who may have been in the same situation. Perhaps you have the knowledge and expertise to answer questions and offer insights to others. Or maybe you just want to follow the many other discussions to prepare for similar situations you may encounter. The online community gives you the ability to participate in or initiate discussions that are important to you. You control how often you receive email alerts and can even choose if you want a daily or weekly summary. You can also personalize your profile by adding your interests, education, experience, honors, your photo — you can even earn badges! Show your support for the profession by sharing your knowledge and experience with members in the online community, and let the connecting begin at wicpa.org/connect!
