About the KSCPAThe KSCPA is a professional organization founded 80 years ago, on October 17, 1932, during the midst of the Great Depression in Topeka. Over eighty years later, the KSCPA continues to work under the same mission – the KSCPA is dedicated to supporting and developing our members and promoting the accounting profession – and to thrive with a current membership of more than 2,800 CPAs and their affiliates.

The landscape of the profession continues to evolve; the services provided by CPAs continue to expand from the core services of audit and taxation. Additionally, what was once a predominantly male profession is now becoming a predominantly female profession. No matter the sector, the opportunities for CPAs are endless.

The KSCPA welcomes and accommodates the changes of the profession. It continuously adapts to provide value to its membership, including:

• Government affairs representation at the Kansas State House and on the Council of the American Institute of CPAs;

• Relationships with advocates at the IRS and Kansas Department of Revenue;• Unique conferences to appeal to a wide range of audiences;• Continuing education programs lead by top-notch, nationally-recognized speakers;• An elite leadership program for young professionals;• Administration of the peer review programs for the Kansas Board of Accountancy

and the American Institute of CPAs;• Networking events;• Affinity programs.

Generally, once an individual receives a CPA Certificate, s/he becomes a member of a state society, and this membership is maintained throughout his or her career, regardless of whether a permit to practice is maintained or the employment of the individual. The majority of the KSCPA membership consists of CPAs who possess a certificate from the state of Kansas or another jurisdiction. Membership in the KSCPA is also available to students and to those working in CPA firms and under the supervision of CPAs in business, industry, government and education.

Exhibitor and sponsorship opportunities at KSCPA conferences provide a unique and exciting opportunity to expand your business. Network with your target audience, display your products, and explain your services in a one-on-one atmosphere. Exhibitors and sponsors may attend any session at no charge when not at booth.

Table Sponsorships for AttendeesFirms - Invite your clients! Firms & organizations - Save money with multiple attendees. Costs for table sponsorship depends on the conference. A minimum of six attendees per table is required. For more information regarding these sponsorship opportunities, contact Danielle at danielle@kscpa.org or 785.272.4366.
