Our CPAs are leaders, trusted advisors, volunteers, educators, and mentors. Their dedication strengthens the profession, supports the business and greater communities, and enriches the lives of those around them. Through their commitment and impact, they exemplify the very best of what it means to be a CPA.
We invite our members and peers to help us identify individuals who deserve one of our three annual awards. Nomination forms are available year‑round; however, the primary call for nominations opens in mid-winter, closes in early May, and recipients are announced in late June. For inquiries, please contact Amy MacIsaac at [email protected].
