CTCPA Evolving, Strengthening Today – Preparing for Tomorrow
December 04, 2025
The accounting and finance profession is changing faster than ever, and CTCPA is committed to ensuring our members stay ahead of those changes. While we continue to deliver the day-to-day support you rely on, from advocacy and regulatory guidance to professional education and community connection, we are equally focused on preparing you, your organizations, and your staff for what comes next.
Across the country, CPA pipeline shortages, rapid advances in technology, shifts in employer expectations, and changing preferences among younger professionals are reshaping the profession. In this environment, doing things the way we did them even a few years ago is no longer enough. CTCPA must remain agile, forward-looking, and ready to evolve.
That is why, in January, our Board of Directors, Advisory Council, and volunteer leaders will participate in a strategic session to review our membership model, explore how we can strengthen engagement, and identify new ways to deliver value in a world that looks very different from before. This effort reflects our mindset: to equip our professionals for today's realities and tomorrow’s opportunities.
The session will explore questions such as:
- How do we support firms, finance departments, and professionals more effectively in a changing landscape?
- What will younger generations expect from their professional community?
- How can CTCPA continue to stand apart in advocacy, community-building, and Connecticut-specific knowledge, the highest-ranked benefits among members?
- How can we ensure the Society remains strong, relevant, and sustainable for decades to come?
This is the start of a thoughtful, transparent modernization effort – one that will include member input, firm conversations, listening sessions, and regular communication along the way.
We want you to know that CTCPA is not standing still. We are moving forward with intention, reevaluating how we serve you, and ensuring that both our organization and our members are ready for whatever comes next in this rapidly evolving profession.
Thank you for being part of a community that leads, adapts, and grows together. More updates will follow in the months ahead – and we look forward to engaging you in this important work.
