|
TSCPA President Mike Cain and Executive Director Brad Floyd are visiting the chapter for the October meeting, so please consider attending to hear the state of TSCPA. For those of you who did not attend the September luncheon, the TSCPA headquarters has bestowed an exemplary honor upon our chapter. Last winter the Memphis Chapter led the charge statewide by donating over $38,000 to headquarters for the new building addition. Because of our chapter’s generosity, the main board room will be named the “Memphis Room.” Thank you headquarters for this honor! One of the TSCPA Council’s primary directives is educating today’s students about the profession. Many of us have great stories to tell about our careers. Have you ever shared them with a high school or college student? All you need to be willing to do is to volunteer an hour or two of your time. We even have a video that explains about the diverse opportunities in the profession. Please call Ginny Szalay at 901/683-8899 and we’ll get you involved!
We’ll see everyone on Oct. 14
and let’s give a warm welcome to both Mike and Brad! |
