Each year, with its esteemed Public Service Award, the MACPA recognizes a member that selflessly gives back to the community. Whether it is through giving time to local non-profit organizations or encouraging other CPAs to become involved in public service activities, the Association appreciates the efforts of its members and affiliates and acknowledges exceptional accomplishments through this special awards recognition.
