	Accounting Career Exploration This Chapter committee administers the Accounting Career Awareness Program, in which CPAs visit area schools to tell students about the variety of career opportunities available with an accounting degree. This is how we help preserve the future of the profession, recruiting the best and the brightest. Contact Career Awareness Chairman Rusty Morrison if you'd like to get involved.

	Advertising & Public Relations The Image Enhancement Task Force is responsible for the Chapter's advertising and public relations initiatives. For more information about these opportunities, contact Janet Hagy.

	Community Involvement Nothing is more rewarding than giving back to the great community in which we live. The Community Involvement task force meets a few times throughout the year to think up great ways to support charitable organizations. Our projects range from building houses to toy drives to raising money by walking 5Ks. Ron Wignall leads this worthwhile task force.

	Continuing Professional Education CPAs must earn a certain amount of continuing education hours per year in order to maintain their license. The CPE committee is in charge of our annual course catalog and tax conference. If you are interested in the latest accounting topics, know great speakers or just want more information regarding the committee, please contact Christi Mondrik.

	Financial Literacy The Austin Chapter plays an important role in TSCPA's statewide Financial Literacy campaign. With its focus on senior citizens, military families and nonprofit organizations, the Austin Chapter's Financial Literacy task force is always looking for new members. Contact Diana Sullivan for more info.

	Membership/Hospitality The Austin Chapter gets new Members all the time, and we makes sure new Members have the latest information about benefits, volunteer opportunities, and all the other resources available to them as Chapter Members. To learn more about these important efforts, contact Dan Popejoy.

	New CPAs This committee consists of CPAs that meet at least one the following criteria – under 40 years of age, received their license in the past five(5) years and/or are new to the Austin area. This group will plan networking events, group outings, volunteer activities and social functions with a goal of at least one event per month. Most planning will take place via email communication with occasional, perhaps quarterly, face-to-face meetings.

	Scholarships The Chapter began a robust scholarship program in 2005, awarding three $1,000 scholarships to outstanding local accounting majors. The scholarship task force also named one $1,250 scholarship after Bette Williams, in honor of her years of dedicat4ed service to the Austin Chapter and the accounting profession. To become a part of this fun and worthy cause, contact Dan Popejoy.

	Student/College Activities This group will work throughout the year to develop programs and activities conducive to preparing students for the CPA profession. Activities could include participation in panel discussions at campuses; networking events specifically geared toward students; providing mentor/student program; encouraging students to become TSCPA/Austin CPA Chapter members and apply for the chapter’s scholarships.
