Another tax season has concluded! Congratulations on all your hard work. I know tax season never really ends, but hopefully you’ve been able to take a breather. Now’s the time to reset and reflect on the past four months, brush up on the topics you wish you knew a little better and learn what you need to know in order to complete those extensions. Some chapters are hosting early education events that may interest you, and all chapters are actively in the education planning process, so keep a watchful eye out for sessions happening throughout the year. Now’s also a great time to get involved with your chapter! Help influence the topics for your chapter’s year-end meetings, write a newsletter article about your experiences this
tax season or simply help organize a networking event in your area. Reach out to the chapter president in your state and see how you can contribute.

We survived tax season! Now reward yourself with a few days of relaxation and fantastic education on the beautiful sands of Orange Beach, AL. It's not too late too register! Access our webpage for registration information and the hotel link to reserve your sleeping room.
