As we begin a new year at CalCPA, I would like to thank Kathy Johnson for her leadership as chapter president this past year. She has served our profession well and is leaving our chapter stronger as a result of her guidance and leadership. I have learned much from working with her and look forward to continue drawing upon her experience in this new role.

A bit of advice I have received regarding the role of chapter president is to not mess things up and recognize that a year offers a limited amount of time to implement grand visions.

With that guidance in mind, I want to share with you a couple of focus areas that we will be working on this year. First is to build our committees. Many of our committees consist of one person. We will devote a focus on our tax and YEP committees and build upon our new student outreach committee created this past year. We will also seek more members to serve on additional committees.

And second, using input received from you, our members, we will interject a few more meetings tailored to a specific topic area. Our goal is to have a low-cost, targeted meeting that will pique your interest. These will be small, possibly held at a firm, and provide you with a member value that will keep you asking for more. Stay tuned as we develop these programs.

Helping in this effort is our leadership team: Alex Lemos (first vice president); Derrick DeBruyne (second vice president); Lynette Atchley (treasurer); Andy Anderson (secretary); and Kathy Johnson (immediate past president). Our board includes Ellen Friestad, Matt Wilson, Barbara Bowlby, Barbara Feliciano and Bruce Gray.

As always I extend an open invitation for you to share your thoughts and ideas with me.

• Excellence in teaching and mentoring, as evidenced by receiving various awards or citations;
• Educational innovation, including developing curriculum, case studies and new programs;
• Published articles in professional or academic journals or written textbooks for use in accounting classes; and
• Significant involvement in professional or academic societies and related activities.
