Chairman Message
by Paul Willey, CPA
 With the end of this month, the Dallas CPA Society is completing another successful year. Some of the highlights of the last 12 months:
Our Leadership Development group has introduced new activities for our young professionals: charitable participation, establishing a program for the second group of participants, networking opportunities and generally taking an active role in DCPAS functions.
We welcomed Lt. Governor David Dewhurst to discuss Texas financial affairs in November.
Over 800 coats and a virtual mountain of toys were provided in December by Dallas CPAs for underprivileged children at the Love for Kids Christmas party. A large group of our members also volunteered to staff this event, and it was a rewarding day for everyone involved.
The Tax Hotline, under the leadership of Ken Sibley, responded to over 500 phone calls requesting tax help and information. Callers were very grateful for the assistance and the Chapter received record publicity for this endeavor.
Looking forward….
Paul Willey, CPA
Chair, 2010-11

and Partner Organizations Only
Hilton Anatole Hotel
Dear Members:
The Dallas CPA Society 7th Annual Education Conference will be held May 26, 2011, from 8am-5pm at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas. As you know, this is the premier educational event for the CPA community in North Texas. This year we are expecting over 1,500 attendees. The conference will consist of 43 courses and feature well known, national authorities on accounting, finance, legislative, tax and legal topics of importance to the profession.
The conference features a special track on issues of importance to the nonprofit sector. As part of our efforts to help the nonprofit community in North Texas, we have arranged for Dallas CPA Society members to extend a special benefit to non-CPA Board members of Section 501(c)(3) organizations. Dallas CPA Society members may invite a non-CPA Board Member of a Section 501(c)(3) organization to attend the conference for the Member price of $25.00. This is an opportunity for us to give back to the community and help our nonprofit agencies in North Texas.
We hope they will be able to join us on May 26th! Use this link for more conference details, to register and to invite your nonprofit guest.
