Thank You for a Great Year

By Susan Jacobson, CPA

I know it’s April and everyone is very busy, so I will make this short and sweet. I have enjoyed my experience over the past year as your chapter president. It is almost time for me to pass the gavel to our next chapter president—Patricia Krout. I have the honor of doing so at our annual chapter installation dinner May 1 at Alisal Guest Ranch. Our 2010–11 chapter officers and directors will be as follows:

Officers
President: Patricia Krout, McGowan Guntermann CPAs
First VP: Gail Anikouchine, MacFarlane Faletti & Co. LLP
Second VP: Jeff Dottl, Pyne Waltrip Decker & McCoy, LLP
Treasurer: Jason L. Janzen, Bartlett, Pringle & Wolf, LLP
Secretary: Raj Acharya, Soares, Sandall, Bernacchi & Petrovich, LLP
Past President: Susan P. Jacobson, Holthouse, Carlin & VanTrigt, LLP

Chapter Directors
Yusuf A. Balogun, Walpole & Co.
Darcia Stebbens, Enrico & Associates
Jessica Johnson, Holthouse, Carlin & Van Trigt, LLP

I would like to thank our 2009–10 officers and directors—Tom Letus, Darcia Stebbens, Yusef Balogun, Raj Acharya, Jason Janzen, Jeff Dottl, Gail Anikouchine and Patricia Krout—for supporting me and making this a fun and productive year.

I would like to thank my employer, Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt LLP, for allowing me to volunteer my time to support CalCPA and for supporting me in this effort. I would also like to thank the past presidents on my tour of duty—Diane Wondolowski, Jim Lutz, Joe Lanza, Mike Eulau, Juan Soto, Cindy Young and Tom Letus—for their guidance and support, and our program directors Kay Coffin and Vince Chin (in Kay’s absence). And I could not have done any of this without Rita Williams, our fabulous program associate, who is really the one who makes this all work. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rita.
