President's Message
Fellow Chapter Members:
We had an excellent February meeting at Premier Place. Michael Mansfield and Geoffrey Lindley from Rainey Kizer Revere & Bell, PLC put on an excellent presentation pertaining to the new worker's compensation laws and social networking. These are both issues that a majority of us are dealing with, and it was good to hear from them on these topics.
For our March meeting, we will be hearing from Strategic Financial Partners on the topic of "Family Business Distribution Planning and Other Estate Planning Techniques." This meeting will be held on March 16, and will be held during the lunch hour. I encourage you to attend this meeting as it will be a very interesting topic. Also, as a reminder, we will not be having an April meeting.
If we can ever be of assistance to you please do not hesitate to let us know. I encourage you to visit the TSCPA Web site (www.tscpa.com) and experience the wealth of information that is available. I look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Stephen Eldridge
West Tennessee Chapter President
Volunteer for a 2010-2011 TSCPA Committee
Committees are responsible for much of the work that TSCPA does on behalf of its members and the CPA profession. The various committees develop, recommend and implement programs that help make TSCPA a viable, valued organization that benefits its members.
The time commitment for each committee varies, depending on the issues and tasks at hand. Most TSCPA committees average two to three meetings per year. Typically, meetings are held at the TSCPA office in Brentwood but are sometimes held by conference call.
TSCPA is currently seeking volunteers to serve for the 2010-11 term, beginning on June 15, 2010. If you are interested in becoming a candidate for service, please complete the committee volunteer service form at https://www.tscpa.com/_forms/committee_volunteer/requestform.aspx by Friday, Feb. 19, 2010 to be considered for appointment. This link is also accessible on the TSCPA homepage under "Society News." Please note that even if you are already serving on a committee, you must submit a 2010-11 volunteer form so we know of your continued interest.
List Your firm in the Guide to Accounting Firms in Tennessee
One of TSCPA’s goals is to support our members in every step of their careers, including their very first job. TSCPA will once again offer a popular resource tool for accounting job-seekers - the Guide to Accounting Firms in Tennessee. This guide can also be used by potential clients seeking a CPA in Tennessee.
The guide book is a free resource that will be available to college students and young professionals who wish to actively identify and contact public accounting firms offering internships and entry-level positions for employment. The directory will also help public accounting firms gain exposure to students and young professionals as they begin their careers in accounting.
In addition to your firm's listing in the guide, you may also purchase a full-page, black and white ad for $500. Please see the Advertising Opportunities and Agreement Form for more information.
The Guide to Accounting Firms in Tennessee will be distributed to the accounting departments of Tennessee colleges and universities and at college career fairs. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.
To be included in the fourth annual issue of the guide, please complete the firm information form. The deadline to submit the form and payment is Feb. 26, 2010. Contact Lindsey Deweese at ldeweese@tscpa.com or 615/377-3825 with any questions.
