* Sign Up for the June Medium Firm Network Group Meeting Did you know that PCPS MAP Network Groups received one of the highest satisfaction scores among member benefits in our recent Membership Survey?

The MAP Network Group meetings provide a forum for in-depth practice management discussions and information exchange on firm operations and professional issues. Each group is tailored to a specific firm size so that members can take advantage of the valuable knowledge and experience of peer firms and share their own problems and solutions. The Medium Firm Network Group (firms with 10-24 CPAs) will meet on June 24 & 25 in New York City. Visit www.pcps.org or call 1-800-CPA-FIRM to obtain more information.

Practitioners' Symposium will be held June 14-16 at the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Last year's Practitioners' was a huge success with CPAs from all over the country coming to receive valuable CPE geared toward local and regional firm practitioners.

Practitioners' is the only conference that focuses strictly on the fundamentals of being a profitable practitioner. The conference covers a wide range of value-added services that have one thing in common: they will help your firm to thrive. Topics covered include developing niche practices, performance measures, investment advisory services, technology consulting and retirement planning. As always, Practitioners' is a great opportunity to network with other CPAs in local and regional firms and to share and learn best management practices. In addition, attending Practitioners' fulfills all of your training needs and 25 CPE credits at a reasonable cost per hour! Visit www.cpa2biz.com to register.
