Introducing the OSCPA’s 2016

The OSCPA Trailblazers program honors the professional commitment, innovation and community dedication of the OSCPA’s New CPAs, defined as members who are under 40 or who have five or fewer years of CPA experience. It recognizes the OSCPA’s top talent among New CPAs.

The OSCPA Public Relations Committee accepts nominations for Trailblazers during the summer and the fall. Anyone can nominate a Trailblazer, but only OSCPA members are eligible for the award. A panel of judges reviewed each application and assigned scores based upon achievements, awards, educational background,

civic and professional service and career information, as well as what candidates felt were their most significant business and personal achievements.

This issue of CPAFOCUS pays tribute to the 2016 OSCPA Trailblazers, a group that represents the best of what the OSCPA represents: CPAs devoted to the accounting profession, loyal to their communities and the world around them, and enthusiastic about the future.

The OSCPA gives special thanks to MassMutual Financial Group of Oklahoma, the official sponsor of the 2016 OSCPA Trailblazers.
