Yipinet Renamed eMind.com

Revamped Site Also Adds New Features

Yipinet, an Internet-based provider of continuing education and the NYSSCPA's affinity partner in providing CPE to financial professionals, announced that it has changed its name to eMind.com effective February 14. In addition to the new name, the site includes additional features and an expanded selection of courses.

"We've chosen eMind.com because we think it better suits our vision to become the world's leading e-learning provider for business professionals," eMind.com CEO Howard Marks said.

Additional features include new hubs for securities, personal development, and technology programs, as well as channels for small to medium-sized and large businesses.

"We also have added a fresh, new look to help you find the e-learning you need," Marks said.

Members can access eMind.com at www.nysscpa.emind.com or through the eMind.com banner on the www.nysscpa.org homepage.

This name change will not affect current Society members' registration and course purchase information which includes hundreds of courses in taxation, accounting and auditing, specialized knowledge, securities, personal development, and information technology. The former address, www.nysscpa.yipinet.com, also will continue to work as will all e-mail addresses with the yipinet.com extension.
