Although the dust has just settled on this year’s election, those advocating on behalf of the CPA profession must already be looking forward to the coming year.

Forty-six new members of the Michigan House of Representatives will be taking office in a few short days – members with whom new relationships and partnerships must be forged (see related article). In addition, positioning for the November 2010 election has already started – an election that will result in a new Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General and where all but seven state senate members cannot return to office due to term limits.

The MACPA Political Action Committee is likely to distribute more than $250,000 in the next two years supporting candidates and current office holders that align their interests with those of the CPA profession. From a cash-flow standpoint, these efforts have already begun.

Please make your 2009 contribution today. You may do so online or by contacting the Government Relations Department at 248-267-3700.
