NYPN strategic planning
A dedicated group of young CPAs and CPA candidates met in a series of strategic planning sessions with Tom Hood to discuss the most effective way to continue the momentum and success of the New / Young Professionals Network. The group came up with five bold steps to help make NYPN the young networking group of the future.
If you are interested in getting involved in a committee, below are the five bold steps and a brief description of the responsibilities associated with each area. We understand your busy schedules, but any level of commitment will be much appreciated. Contact us at nypn@macpa.org for more information or to sign up for a committee.
- Meetings / events: Help plan and coordinate happy hours, social and networking events, etc. Forge associations with other networking organizations and look out for future event opportunities for NYPN.
- Professional development / CPE: Help plan timely and relevant CPE events for young CPAs. Plan a large-scale networking roundtable and other events related to professional development.
