Bill Delaney Surprise!

Update From The President 

Christine Miarecki, EA
Chapter President

I am pleased to say we were able to surprise Bill Delaney on Tuesday, when members of the Board met for lunch with Bill. He was very pleased when we presented him with the Plaque appointing him Honorary President of the MA/RI Chapter. For some who may not know Bill, this was an overdue honor  for all Bill has done and continues to do for our Chapter.

We look forward to bugging Bill with those odd situations that keep coming our way in this Life of Tax!!

I also want to remind everyone that we have our upcoming State Seminar, January 8th, at the Wellsworth Ma. We are happy to be able to provide the state information and will be offering 3 CPE credits for Federal Update. We are very lucky to have Kathryn Keane as our Presenter. It will be a day of mind-blowing information as we are gearing up for a Very Interesting Tax Season! upcoming Please, if you are attending any of the Federal Update Seminars, take a minute to let attendees about the January 8th Seminar.
