On July 15, several OSCPA staff members , including President and CEO, Laura Hay, CPA, CAE, headed to Pittsburgh to convene with other state CPA societies from around the country at this year’s AICPA & CPA/SEA Interchange.
This two-day annual conference is co‑sponsored by the AICPA and the CPA Society Executives Association (CPA/SEA). It brings together leaders from state CPA societies and AICPA staff to connect around advocacy, best practices and emerging regulatory issues.
OSCPA sent a member of staff from each department to take advantage of this incredible learning opportunity.
Attendees took part in general sessions that discussed conflict resolution, redesigning relevance in a shifting landscape and inclusive leadership. They also attended department-specific sessions to ensure society staff leave with the most useful information possible to enhance all aspects of their association.
The conference concluded with keynote speaker Sterling Hawkins who discussed the need for associations to do more than share high level ideas. They need to create actionable strategies that drive real impact.
The Ohio Society participates in this conference each year, returning with vital information that aids in refining and improving member experience, business development tactics, advocacy efforts, member outreach and much more.
