"I joined the MACPA immediately after passing the exam. To me, it was as natural as getting a driver's license when I turned 16. Why wouldn't I? I knew it was THE organization that represents CPAs in Maryland, and I knew I wanted a career as a CPA. Why would I not?
"Since then, I have been on MACPA committees, task forces and boards, and even had the honor to serve as president. In those years, I have seen the MACPA grow to one of the most respected CPA associations in the country. My membership and participation in the MACPA has helped further my career in many ways. These are just a few.
- Access to my peers
- Access to CPA leaders that I have perhaps emulated
- Quality CPE
- Learned leadership skills, communication skills
- Broaden my understand of Non-public practice CPA issues
- Representation before the legislature and State Board
- Access to national leaders (AICPA activity)
"I feel the same today as I did in the beginning: Being a CPA and a member of the MACPA go hand and hand. Now, I just know why so much better."
