Celebrating our future and those who continue to guide them

PATH FINDERS For members of the OSCPA, 2018 was an unforgettable year. The Centennial Celebration offered memorable opportunities to celebrate the history of the OSCPA and admire all the efforts of all the members who brought us to this amazing milestone that so few organizations reach.

After the OSCPA Centennial Celebration, a group of members urged the creation of a new award that celebrates the constant contributions of those members who strive to encourage the future of the CPA profession. The OSCPA Path Finders are an elite group of Oklahoma CPAs who are successful and well-respected for business prowess, community involvement and mentoring new CPAs, welcoming them to the profession and showing them ways to be successful.

Honorees were selected based on professional dedication, community involvement and commitment to inspiring the future of the CPA profession in Oklahoma.

This year, we honor five.

TRAILBLAZERS

In 2009, the OSCPA established the Trailblazers program to recognize the innovation, professional dedication and community commitment of the OSCPA’s Young Accounting Professionals—defined as members under the age of 40 or who have five or fewer years of CPA experience. Each year, the OSCPA accepts nominations for Trailblazers during the summer and the fall months. Anyone can nominate a Trailblazer, but only OSCPA members are eligible.

Honorees are selected based on their achievements, awards, educational background, civic and professional service and career information, as well as what they felt were their most significant business and personal achievements.

This year, we honor 10.
