Notes From Nikki
Networking, Networking, Networking
By Nikki Johnson, CPA Member Communications Director

Over the last several months I have been talking with CPA members attempting to get to know them and to learn what components of the association are most important. The goal, ultimately, is to further enhance those components and offerings to grow our membership. Well, the people have spoken! What's most important to our members? NETWORKING. NETWORKING. NETWORKING.
