Key Person Network

ASCPA members have a voice at the state capitol that’s heard, thanks to your Society, the ALA/CPA/PAC and the ASCPA’s lobbyist. Legislators, leaders, and opinion makers open their doors to us, trust what we say and almost always respond favorably. By joining the Key Person Network your voice will be heard and you will impact your profession.

It's easy to become involved. To a large extent, legislators base decisions upon communications they receive from constituents. Legislators' decisions are fueled by a want and need to effectively serve constituents — and increase chances of re-election. In some cases, CPAs need to communicate with officials from other branches of government, including the Alabama governor's office, U.S. Congress and regulatory agencies like the Alabama Department of Revenue. It's simple, it's fun and it's our responsibility to let legislators know where we stand.
