What are Sections?
FICPA Sections are member-driven, professional online communities. Each has a Florida focus, built on knowledge sharing and professional development in its specific area of practice.
As part of the FICPA restructuring initiative, in 2000, the Restructure Task Force identified an opportunity to enhance the current FICPA committee structure by implementing a new organizational model called "Sections." The concept was to have a community of CPAs who share interest in a common area of practice develop and share area-specific knowledge with their peers. Section members use the power of the Internet to communicate and exchange information.
Members of a Section may participate at different levels depending on the amount of time they are able to contribute, including:
-
Sign up to participate in various discussion topics via the Listserv (mailing list);
-
Become a member of a subcommittee/team, to accomplish specific Section objectives designed to benefit all members (e.g., planning a conference, developing content for the Web site, etc.); and/or
-
Help shape the policies and direction of their professional community by serving on a Section Steering Committee or Resource Council.
