PositionMessage FROM THE CHAIR

As I prepare to begin my term as chair of the Board, I am mindful of all those who have preceded me in this role. The leadership of our organization has been exceptional and I only hope I am able to continue the fine tradition of those before me. After a year of serving as an apprentice in the chair-elect position, I marvel at the breadth of issues and constituencies the Society serves. Under the tutelage of Chair Jay Moeller and Past Chair Jim Haubrock, I gained valuable insight into the role of the chair and operations of the Society, for which I am very thankful.

Our Society boasts four generations of members with different views on issues and different service needs from the organization. However, we all have one common and uniting characteristic--the CPA designation.

There are many threats and challenges to the CPA brand:

* Registration of tax preparers

* Sales tax on services

* Proposed additional regulatory requirements resulting from the financial frauds

* Changes to the Accountancy Board of Ohio

These and other issues affect all of our members. Be encouraged and take comfort in the fact that your Society is well equipped to address them all. Through the efforts of numerous volunteer members and the excellent and dedicated staff of the Society, you are constantly being supported. As a key component of our strategic plan, I hope to continue programs to enhance the CPA brand and insure that we have your back.
