From The Executive Director's Desk
Imagine networking with some of
the top
bookkeepers in the country. Imagine the
chance to be
on the fast track to a more lucrative
practice . . . to
being a certified professional bookkeeper
(CPB) . . .
and to receiving greater professional
recognition
inside and outside of this network.
Regional Meetings are a vital part of that
formula for
success.
They're a unique chance to combine
learning - a
guest speaker shares expertise that's sure to
make
your work a bit easier - with fun and powerful
networking. Every meeting is free to
attend.
