Each year the Arkansas Society of CPAs pays tribute to those who have served their profession and/or communities in a commendable manner. The contributions that these members or firms make reflect positively on themselves as individuals, their firms, and the CPA designation. Help us identify those exemplary members who may qualify to receive awards. Please consider nominating an exceptional coworker, a mentor or other individual, someone who sparked your passion for the profession, someone who provides outstanding service, dedication or leadership.
