Free SA CPA Membership

Monday Oct 18 2021

The Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants (TXCPA) is always looking for ways to engage Accounting students. 2 ways that students can get involved now:

 

1. TXCPA is offering free memberships to Accounting students. The online link is found at https://www.tx.cpa/resources/become-a-cpa/become-a-student-member. Each student will have to create their own account prior to submitting the online membership application. Again, this is free & comes with the membership benefits outlined on the website such as scholarship opportunities & chances to network with Accounting professionals.

 

2. TXCPA & Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) are co-hosting a community service event at Habitat for Humanity on Saturday, November 13, 2021 starting at 7:30 AM (includes breakfast & lunch) and would like to invite Accounting students (& anyone else 14+ years old such as family members) to volunteer & network with Accounting professionals. We are doing landscaping and wall-building, so people should come prepared for outside work in whatever weather. See more details HERE and attached.

 

Interested volunteers need to send an e-mail to Amanda Talaat at [email protected] with their first and last names, preferred e-mail address, phone number (for emergency use only) and their campus affiliation (TX A&M - SA). This is a great chance to give back to the SA community, network & celebrate Habitat’s 45^th anniversary!!
