CEO Corner

Dear Hannah,
 

Each year, I look forward to announcing the winners of our Women to Watch Awards, but I must add this year’s judging panel really had their work cut out for them. We received a record number of applications as well as the strongest candidates ever. This is truly an extraordinary group of women who have contributed to their profession, firms/companies and communities in many significant ways. It was also incredible to see how many of them are leaders at MassCPAs – as Firm Ambassadors, Committee members and chairs and as contributors to SumNews
 

Congratulations to the following winners (learn more about them here), and thank you to their nominators:   
 

Emerging Leaders (fewer than 15 years in the profession): 
Kayla Ducharme, CPA, KPMG LLP 
Marni Kaufman, CPA, CFE, ABV, Floyd Advisory LLC 
Madison Litwin, CPA, MBA, MST, KLR 
Ashley Meehan, CPA, MSA, CohnReznick LLP 

 

Experienced Leaders (15 or more years in the profession): 
Janine Danielson, CPA, LGA, LLP 
Nicole Florian-Theriaque, CPA, MSA, Wolf & Company, P.C. 
 

The winners will be presented with their awards in-person at the 2022 Women’s Leadership Summit at the Westin Hotel in Waltham on Tuesday, October 25. At this event, we will also present Merrill Puopolo, CPA, CGMA, managing director at CBIZ & MHM, with MassCPAs’ Lifetime Achievement Award. It is not an exaggeration to say the Society and our programs for women would not be the same without Merrill. She was a founder and a leader of our Women in Accounting Committee, and the Women to Watch Awards and Summit were her idea and thrived under her leadership. Merrill was also one of the first people I met at the Society, and she has become a close friend and someone whom I respect and admire without limit. 
 

You can register for the Women’s Leadership Summit here.
I hope to see you at this event – it will be wonderful to celebrate this extraordinary group of women in our profession (together and in-person!). Make sure to register before October 4 to be reimbursed through the state’s Workforce Training Express Fund. For more information, visit our website or contact Julia Ekelund.  

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Amy Pitter
MassCPAs President and CEO

We are looking to highlight the career and personal benefits that only come with having this designation. Please take this one-question survey to tell us your “why.” We will share responses with high school and college students, and feature them on our social media, throughout the fall.
