How are new Sections created?

Proposals for new Sections will be approved by the Board of Governors when it can be demonstrated that there is potentially a net benefit in terms of the overall contribution to the attainment of the goals of this corporation.

Each proposal for a new Section shall be accompanied by a written report setting forth the activities of the group and the advantages of its formation. The activities, goals and objectives for each Section shall be based largely on Florida-specific issues pertaining to areas of interest to CPAs.

Fifty or more Resident members of this corporation may, upon approval of the Board of Governors, constitute themselves as a Section within the FICPA. If in the judgment of the Board of Governors it enhances the attainment of the goals of the FICPA, the Board of Governors may approve the formation of a Section with less than 50 Resident members. Such Section shall be styled and known as the “Section of the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants” and not otherwise.
