When I changed my primary focus to accounting education, I was very fortunate to stay involved with CalCPA as a author and teacher of CalCPA Eduaction Foundation courses. About ten years ago I returned to CalCPA seeking smaller firm contacts and practitioner advice on what students need to succeed as a practicing CPA. The details are blurred but there was the SF Chapter energy ,the financial literacy initiative, and now the accounting education initiative. It's been a good time, doing good things with good people.... that's what CalCPA has been for me.

In those almost thirty years the Education Foundation has been a mainstay for my continuing education needs to keep my CPA certificate active. Since I have worked in industry for most of those years I have been somewhat challenged to find meaningful courses, but the Foundation has been responsive to those of us no longer in public practice. I have always been impressed with the professionalism and high level of service of CalCPA. You are truly the voice of the accounting profession. I have been a CalCPA member since 1977.

Among the things that it has done for me are that: 1) it has helped me to build confidence as a professional through interaction with more experienced professionals, who no doubt have helped me to grow, 2) it has provided me with a network of friends that I can go to for advice and guidance.
