Possible Changes to Your CalCPA.org Login

As a result of converting to a new database, your CalCPA.org login may change.

If your username is your email address, it remains the same.
If your username is your CalCPA member ID, it will change to your primary email address.
Your password will not change, BUT you will be forced to change it at first log in. Your default password, if you did not previously change it, is your last name with a capitalized first letter.

In Memoriam: Jay Newton Groom

We extend our condolences to the family and friends of Jay Newton Groom, a former CalCPA San Joaquin Chapter president and CalCPA board member, who died Feb. 9. He was 93.

Groom settled in Stockton in 1958 and after working with several partners, founded the CPA firm of Groom and Campora. Along with his professional activities, Groom was active in the community as a board member for many organizations, as well as a member of the Stockton Rotary Club.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks those wishing to do so can make donations to the Stockton Rotary Club or Quail Lakes Baptist Church.

You can read more about Groom online.
