Join TXCPA's Key Persons Program and Advocate for the Profession

Are you interested in helping TXCPA grow the CPA pipeline, protect the CPA license, and/or engage in politics and government affairs? If so, the TXCPA Key Persons Program is for you! This program connects members with legislators to promote the CPA profession and support TXCPA’s legislative priorities. Key Persons engage with lawmakers to communicate the importance of the profession and protect the CPA license.

With the 2025 legislative session fast approaching, TXCPA is looking for more members to bolster the program, build relationships with legislators and support our efforts in Austin. No experience is needed – just a willingness to get involved. Contact Kenneth Besserman at kbesserman@tx.cpa or Patty Wyatt at pwyatt@tx.cpa for more information, or submit a volunteer interest form at bit.ly/4dknbOa. We look forward to working with you in the coming year and in Austin during TXCPA’s Advocacy Day in January 2025.
