TXCPA Brazos Valley’s annual meeting and luncheon brought together professionals and students for a vibrant afternoon of networking, insight and opportunity. Local firms hosted recruiting booths and spoke with accounting students from across the region. Attendees heard an update from TXCPA Chair Mohan Kuruvilla, followed by a lively Q&A with a panel of experts from various areas of accounting. The discussion sparked great engagement from both students and professionals. It was a strong showing of community, connection and future-focused momentum.

 

TXCPA Dallas had the exciting opportunity to go behind the scenes at Methodist Dallas Medical Center, thanks to a special collaboration with the Financial Planning Association. Members were given an exclusive look at the hospital’s innovative vision for the future. The tour featured some of the hospital's most impressive areas, including the helipad, the cutting-edge Center for Simulation and Wellness, and the beautifully renovated Labor and Delivery floor. The eye-opening and informative event left a lasting impression on the members.

 

TXCPA East Texas members recently gathered at Rusty Axe Brewing Co. in Lufkin for an evening of camaraderie, craft beer and fun. The event offered attendees a chance to unwind, catch up with colleagues and enjoy one of East Texas’s most unique local venues. Guests enjoyed a flavorful lineup of house-made brews and the laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. It was an evening filled with laughter, good food and even better company. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success! 

 

TXCPA El Paso kicked off the new fiscal year with energy, ideas and a clear vision for growth.
