We thank everyone who submitted their requests and look forward to working with you this year, or in future years. If you submitted a committee request form, you should have received a letter notifying you of the decision.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact FICPA Member Connections Manager Debra Kelly at (800) 342-3197, Ext. 431 (in Florida); (850) 224-2727, Ext. 431; or kellyd@ficpa.org.

How to Get Involved

A Committee request form is sent to all members and is available on the FICPA website. FICPA members select their top three choices for committees, conference planning committees and sections. Applications are accepted between February and mid-April every year.

Appointments are finalized in early May and are confirmed in writing. Committee appointment is for one year – July through June. Committee re-appointment is not automatic. You must reapply to serve each year during the applicable time period.

Committee membership is open to voting members; non-resident members; non-CPA accounting educator members; associate members; retired members; and lifetime members of the FICPA in good standing. Most committees have one or more meetings and/or conference calls during the year in which members are expected to participate.

Criteria

Many factors are considered for committee appointment, including individual expertise; previous service; diversity and extent of FICPA-member participation; experience level; geographic location; and firm/company dynamics.

All committee members are evaluated by the executive committee director coordinator; current committee chair and vice chair; and FICPA staff. Appointment recommendations are made considering the stated criteria. The FICPA chair makes final committee appointments, as well as committee chair and vice chair assignments, in May.
