In What’s Happening Around Texas, we give you highlights of events and activities happening around the state in the TXCPA chapters.
TXCPA Austin members stepped up to volunteer at the December Texas State Board of Public Accountancy (TSBPA) Swearing-In Ceremony, helping welcome Texas’ newest CPAs at a pivotal moment in their careers. Their warm presence helped make the occasion special for new licensees and their families, and their dedication to service and the profession truly stands out.
TXCPA Corpus Christi members helped make the Counting on Santa toy drive a true success. Thanks to their generosity, 85 gifts and more than $600 in donations were collected, bringing holiday joy to local families. Volunteers shared those gifts in December at Catholic Charities of Corpus Christi’s Heart of Giving event, seeing firsthand the impact of their support.
TXCPA Dallas stayed busy bringing members together through connection, celebration and service. Young Professionals enjoyed a festive evening at the Vitruvian Lights meetup, taking in the scenery while building meaningful relationships. The Chapter Holiday Event featured plenty of seasonal cheer. In January, volunteers put their hearts into action at the Feed the City event, coming together to make sandwiches for the area’s underserved.
TXCPA Fort Worth members made a big impact through generosity and fun. Their Santaccountant Toy Drive collected 2,100 gifts for 776 children across Tarrant County. Members also enjoyed the Dinos After Dark Scholarship Fundraiser at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, an energetic night of food and networking among prehistoric giants, all supporting future accounting professionals.
TXCPA Houston’s Mix and Mingle: White Elephant social event was buzzing with energy from start to finish. The room was alive with laughter and lively conversations as members connected with peers from across the profession. From friendly exchanges to the fun of the White Elephant activity, the event created a welcoming space for relationship building and engagement.
