Happy 2012 Tax Season

by Oscar Axume

We will be hosting our second Wine Tasting Mixer at Imbibe Jan. 26. This will be our last event before the chapter goes dormant for the next three months, so invite your friends and come to have a glass of wine (or beer) and pasta. Let’s go out with a bang and be a part of this social mixer, back by popular demand.

CalCPA will host CPA Day at the Capitol Jan 18.  This is a great opportunity for members to get to know many of the new legislators who may not be familiar with our profession’s unique environment. So make an effort to be there. Many of the bills introduced each legislative session affect both our profession and our clients.

I want to thank all the officers, board members, committee chairs, firms and chapter members who have contributed to the success of our chapter. Our membership grew by 8 percent this year. But more importantly, participation in our events by member was 27 percent compared to 18 percent last year.

Congratulations and may we all have a successful and blissful 2012 tax season.
