MSCPA Legislative College
If Legislators don’t hear from CPAs on tax and business issues where will they get their information?

This legislative session has the potential make a huge impact on you and your clients/your business.  Legislators rely heavily on the information they receive from their constituents to make the right decisions when casting their vote.  If they don’t hear from CPAs on tax and business issues where will they get their information?  Your voice, your expertise and your involvement are crucial.

That’s why the Montana Society of CPAs has created a two-hour class we call The Legislative College.  This class, taught by attorney and lobbyist Ed Bartlett, will walk you through the legislative process; make it less intimidating and more encouraging to share your expertise.  During this course you will learn what the Legislature does and what, when, how and why you can and should be involved.

The Legislative College is scheduled on the dates below to best prepare Montana CPAs for the January start date of the session.  There is no cost to attend (other than lunch, if applicable) and participants will receive two hours of CPE.  Please click on the RSVP links below to sign up for the College and/or receive more information.
