SUMMARY: FICPA CPA Day at the Capitol
DESCRIPTION: \n\nStand up for the CPA Profession\nThe FICPA is excited to announce that our annual CPA Day at the Capitol is scheduled for Jan. 13\, 2027! \n  \nLast year\, we set a record for the largest advocacy event in our history\, as more than 150 FICPA representatives took meetings or delivered legislative materials to every single member of the Florida House and Senate\, advancing our legislative priorities and protecting the value of the CPA license. \n  \nThanks in part to our work during CPA Day at the Capitol\, the FICPA prevented the proposed elimination of the Florida Board of Accountancy for the second year in a row.   \n  \nNo one tells the story of the CPA profession better than you. That's why the Governmental Affairs Team once again invites you to Tallahassee ahead of the 2027 Legislative Session to help us advocate for our FICPA priority legislation. \n  \nThis year\, your presence will be especially important. Florida will soon welcome a new Governor\, Senate President and Speaker of the House – and for the first time in more than a decade\, no CPA will serve in the Florida Legislature.  \n  \nWhether it’s your first CPA Day or you’ve attended for years\, we'll make sure you'll have the support and resources you need to confidently advocate for the profession or simply listen and learn alongside your group.  \n  \nOnce at the Capitol\, participants will be grouped with key FICPA leadership or staff to hold meetings with legislators from their region\, sharing firsthand the value and contributions of CPAs.  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \n\nTuesday\, January 12\, 2027\n  \n6-8 p.m.Welcome Reception\n  \nEve on AdamsRooftop of the DoubleTree Hotel101 S.
