Chair Message: Don’t Miss the Forum on Quorum
by Mitch Perry, CPA
 CPA Employment Forum, Free CPE Seminar and Networking August 26th
The current economy can present Dallas area CPA’s with a number of career obstacles. For many in our ranks, seeking employment in this challenging market has become a matter of foremost concern. In response to the current economic circumstances, the Dallas CPA Society is presenting a special forum for job seekers. The event will be held at the Marriott Quorum at the corner of Dallas Parkway and Quorum Drive on Wednesday, August 26th. A panel of experts will be on hand to provide practical instruction, helpful tips, and to answer your questions about finding a job in today’s economy. This special employment forum is a free program for our members, and will be followed by an hour of free CPE and an opportunity for networking among our membership. If you attended our July networking happy hour at BlackFinn in Addison, I hope you enjoyed the evening with over 100 of your fellow DCPAS members.
The Marriot Quorum can accommodate an even larger crowd, so if like so many others, you’ve found yourself looking for the right employment opportunity in these challenging times, I encourage you to attend the Forum on Quorum August 26th. Here is a preview of what we have in store for that day:
