From CEO Bonnie Stewart

Why Join the CTCPA?


There are so many benefits to being a CTCPA member that sometimes when someone asks me why they should join, I need to pause for a moment. From the strong peer-to-peer interactions I see in member meetings and in our online community to the experts we bring in for professional development and group meetings to the real difference we make while connecting our members to regulators, elected officials, and business referral sources, sometimes it's hard to know where to begin.  

While many of these benefits are evergreen and ongoing, we're also constantly shifting to bring you just-in-time news and information and  more ways for members to connect. 

The new Connecticut Finance & Accounting Community gives professionals working in organizations a place to share perspectives and build relationships with peers. 

Our Town Hall Meetings offer regular opportunities to hear timely updates, ask questions, and participate in the conversation. And the Connection Hub can help you find companies and services when your firm or organization needs them.

Whether you work in public practice, business, government, or a nonprofit, I want you to see a place for yourself here. Please continue sharing what you’re seeing, what you need, and where the CTCPA can make a difference.

Bring your staff and colleagues into the mix. Don't forget your new and young professionals!  


I hope you will also make sure your peers and younger team members recognize the value of membership. The best way to help them get involved is to bring them along with you to a committee meeting or encourage them to attend an event so they can see the benefits and opportunities first-hand.  

Something for everyone.  


CTCPA really does have something for everyone. Whether you want to be around similarly minded individuals, get answers to tough technical questions in a seminar or workshop, make connections to grow your business, enjoy a fun evening out with your peers, or make connections to grow your business, there's a place for you in the CTCPA.
