Society Moves
New Home Provides Better Commute and More Space for Members

By Alan Schmelkin, Director of Operations

NEW YORK—The New York State Society of CPAs has moved into its new offices at 3 Park Ave.

On Oct. 12, the Society relocated to its new headquarters on the 18th and 19th floors of the southeast corner building at 34th Street and Park Avenue. The new interior offers the Society increased options for event planning.

The structural design of the 19th floor allows for conferences accommodating up to 150 people. By holding conferences in-house, the Society has more ability to control its budget by avoiding escalating hotel costs. The new FAE Conference Center will hold approximately 15 conferences this year that otherwise would have been held at hotels.

In addition to these cost and quality advantages, the Society also considered the geographic benefits of relocating to Park Avenue.

The new location is within walking distance of two of New York City’s major rail terminals—Grand Central Terminal and Pennsylvania Station—which should ease commuting for members coming from Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut and points north of Manhattan. The new offices are one block away from the 33rd Street stop on the subway’s 6 line. And commuters coming to Manhattan by car will find less-expensive parking garages around the new location than those available in midtown off Fifth Avenue, site of the Society’s former offices.

All NYSSCPA telephone numbers and e-mail addresses have remained the same, as has the website address, www.nysscpa.org.
The Society is excited about the move and looks forward to seeing the members at their new home.
