The VSCPA launched a new strategic framework in May 2017 (VSCPA2025). One of our key strategies is a commitment to drive innovation and vision – providing information and resources to empower members to lead and drive CPA relevancy through innovation. The focus of this initiative includes:
- Technology: Help members adapt to, embrace and leverage rapidly changing technologies
- Talent: Help members develop leadership skills and grow knowledge of global trends to build a thriving workplace of the future
To help address the technology education needs, the VSCPA will launch a brand new Technology Showcase in Fall 2019 to expose busy accounting and financial professionals to new technologies to facilitate growth, increase productivity and keep connected in their business.
