Help Us Recognize A Member's Public Service - California Society of Certified Public Accountants - Brief Article

California CPA, Oct, 2001

Each year, CalCPA recognizes a member for notable works done outside of the office--often for the betterment of their community or the assistance of the less fortunate. These acts of public service are nearly always voluntary.

Before CalCPA can recognize these exemplary leaders, you must nominate them. To be eligible for the Public Service Award, candidates must be members in good standing, and meet one of the following qualifications:

* Participation in charitable, civic or religious activities that have had a long-term, significant impact on the community;

* Responsibility for a public service project that had a positive, significant impact on the community;

* Service in a notable volunteer capacity in local, state or federal government; or

* Service in an outstanding manner as an appointed or elected official at the local, state or federal level.

The nominations deadline is Dec. 31.
