North Carolina Society To Hold ‘CPA Day of Service’ Sept. 21, 2012

CPAs across North Carolina will take to their communities on Friday, September 21, 2012, for the first-ever CPA Day of Service. Sponsored by the state’s CPA society, individual professionals, firms and groups will join forces to give back to charitable organizations of their choice.

“The public may not always know much about CPAs beyond yearly taxes, and I feel this event is a fantastic way to highlight all that is good about the profession and association,” says 2011–12 NCACPA Acting Chair Debbie Lambert. “September 21 will be a day for CPAs across the state to join together and give back to the communities in which we live, work, and play. These  communities have given so much to us; now, it’s time for us to return the favor.”

In an effort to spotlight the importance of the event, Governor Beverly Perdue signed a proclamation officially declaring September 21 as “CPA Day of Service” in North Carolina. In her meeting with members, Governor Perdue expressed her gratitude for the thought and work that has gone into the event. She also stressed the importance and need for volunteerism in our state.
