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 an annual basis. 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, 2016. (See www.nysscpa.org/society/bylaws.htm.)
These candidates are then added to the ballot, along with those
individuals nominated by the Nominating Committee.
Pursuant
to the Bylaws, any submitted petition for independent nominees
requires at least 483 signatures of CPA members (2 percent of
the CPA membership as of the beginning of the fiscal year, which
totaled 24,169 this 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 by clicking

and should be sent to the NYSSCPA Secretary/Treasurer as follows:

Annual
Election Meeting and Dinner: date and place
Based on the

on Thursday, May 19, at Pier Sixty the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers
in New York City. Official notice of the meeting will be included
in the March/April issue of The Trusted Professional.
