Membership

By Sheryl Yardumian, CPA

The chapter has 952 licensed members and needs 48 more to reach the magic number of 1,000. Once we have 1,000 licensed members, we will increase our representation by one seat on the CalCPA Council. I realize that all of you reading this are members, but if you know anyone who is a CPA, is trying to become a CPA or is an accounting student, please forward this information to them. One of them will become our 1,000th member!

In addition to CalCPA providing us with a voice in Sacramento and continually enhancing our public image, member benefits include, among others:

• CalCPA Daily Clips (daily new articles)
• CalCPA BUZZ (bi-monthly newsletter)
• California CPA monthly magazine
• Monthly chapter bulletins
• E-communities and forums
• Website resources (classifieds, member directory, Find a CPA)
• Member discounts for continuing education events and products
• Technical hotlines
• Insurance plans (California CPA Protect Plus)
• Affinity programs
• Volunteer opportunities (financial literacy, student outreach and disaster outreach)
• Chapter networking opportunities
• For students, resources such as free résumé posting, free CPE and scholarship resources
• For candidates, resources such as CPA review course discounts and Young Emerging Professionals Connection e-newsletter.

As you can see, CalCPA offers something for everyone. And, if you are a long-standing member, take a moment to review the above list to make sure you are getting the most from your membership.
