Bring on Autumn!

Gary Brooks

Bring on autumn!  Hopefully you are transitioning into your fall schedule, and we hope our Chapter will be part of it.  As temperatures decrease, Chapter activities increase.  Our monthly meetings start again soon.  Please join us at Maggiano’s on Tuesday, September 26th.  The CPE options relate to retirement planning.  There are also multiple SIG opportunities as well.

In October, we will again be at Maggiano’s, and our tentative topics are:

  • Does an Accounting Career Make Cents (aimed at accounting students)? 
  • Interchanges between Accountants and Lawyers.

For November, we will be back at Capitol City Brewery for Sip-and-CPE in conjunction with VSCPA.  This event is focused on our SIGs and previously received rave reviews.  If you were unable to make it last year, we encourage you to attend.   We will be at the Fairview Park Marriott for our December and January (tax update) meetings.  Please visit the website for up-to-date event information.

In the past, our Chapter has offered ethics twice (May and November).  If there is interest, we can offer another opportunity on Wednesday, November 8th (evening in the Tysons Corner area).  The cost is to be determined, but we expect it to be under $50.  If at least five people email me at gary@gdbrooks.com by September 30th that they are interested, I will get it scheduled.  More to follow…

This is your Chapter!  If you have any constructive recommendations, please let me know.  My intent is for the Chapter to provide you value offering networking and educational opportunities.
