Legislative Chapter Visits

Legislative Chapter visits are a grassroots effort to encourage chapters to become involved with FICPA’s governmental affairs programs.  Chapter officers are asked to consider scheduling a legislative visit each fiscal year.

This program is an effort to facilitate relationships between FICPA members and current legislators from their area.  This legislative visit will help update members about legislative and regulatory issues currently affecting the profession in both Florida and on the national level. 

We believe this grassroots chapter involvement will be ultimately beneficial to the FICPA’s overall legislative efforts and enhance members’ understanding of the legislative and regulatory process.  Most of all, it will give members the opportunity to meet with and ask questions of local legislators who will be making decisions in Tallahassee on issues affecting the CPA profession in Florida.

Ideally, these visits would be the most informative during the months of May-December following the legislative session and just prior to the next legislative session.  Legislative Chapter Visits typically include one or two hours of Technical Business CPE presentations on state legislative issues or other pertinent issues relating to the profession. In addition, legislators from the area are invited to speak to during the visit.

To schedule a legislative visit, please click on the form icon, complete it and fax it to John Johnson, Director of Governmental Affairs (850) 224-2727, Ext. 203, or e-mail govaffairs@ficpa.org.
