From Anthony T. Abboud, NYSSCPA Secretary/Treasurer
On behalf
of the entire membership, I would like to thank the members
of the Nominating Committee for their work in identifying candidates
to serve. Vetting our future leadership is one of the most important
tasks we undertake on a yearly basis.
This formal
report will be printed in the March/April issue of The Trusted
Professional on page 3, and the service record of all nominees
will be printed on pages 4 and 5 of that same issue.
Independent
nominations
According
to Article X of the Society’s Bylaws, independent nominations
for an officer or elected director may be made by a petition
filed with the Secretary/Treasurer by March 1. (See www.nysscpa.org/about/about-nysscpa/governance/board-of-directors/bod-documents/bylaws.)
These candidates are then added to the ballot, along with those
individuals nominated by the Nominating Committee, which will
be sent to the Society's voting membership.
Pursuant
to the Bylaws, any submitted petition for independent nominees
requires at least 427 signatures of CPA members (2 percent of
the CPA membership as of the beginning of the fiscal year, which
totaled 21,366 this fiscal year), other than that of the nominee,
and must certify that the nominee has consented to serve if
elected. To be eligible for the position of a Society officer
or director, a nominee must (i) be a CPA member of the NYSSCPA;
(ii) have at least five years' continuous membership in the
Society; and (iii) have at least two years of participation
either on a Society-level committee or as a member of the executive
board of a chapter, or some combination of both.
Independent
nomination petition forms may be downloaded here
(login required), printed. Completed petitions should be sent
to the NYSSCPA Secretary/Treasurer at the following address:
Anthony
T. Abboud
NYSSCPA Secretary/Treasurer

14 Wall Street, 19th Floor
New York, NY 10005
Annual
Election Meeting: Date and place
Based on
the votes cast in the ballot, the officers and directors for
2019–2020 will be elected during the NYSSCPA's 122nd annual
Election Meeting, which will take place in May at a date and
location to be announced. Official notice of the meeting will
be included in the May/June issue of The Trusted Professional
and will be announced via email and social media.
