Key Person Network

Members can make a difference by contacting elected officials and becoming a liaison between them and the ASCPA. If you have a relationship with a legislator, or are willing to establish one, please join and have your voice heard.

Join the ASCPA Key Person Network.

It's easy to become involved. To a large extent, legislators base decisions upon communications they receive from constituents. Legislators' decisions are fueled by a want and need to effectively serve constituents — and increase chances of re-election. In some cases, CPAs need to communicate with officials from other branches of government, including the Alabama governor's office, U.S. Congress and regulatory agencies like the Alabama Department of Revenue. It's simple, it's fun and it's our responsibility to let legislators know where we stand.
