If you have been looking for some CMA materials, one of our recent out of town CMAs is offering his proven successful 2022 Wiley books and flashcards for BOTH parts!  Just be the first member to respond to this message at SanAntonioIMA@gmail.com.  All he's asking is that you cover his cost to ship it to you.  (Best deal ever!)

We have a different format this month.  We are doing a single hour of CPE and then an hour of pub trivia.  What makes this month extra special is that we are hosting lots of university Accounting Students from across the area.  PLEASE make every effort to attend this meeting in person so we have a great showing of members to make these students feel welcome.  

In person, we are expecting students from:

Our Lady of the Lake University
Texas A&M University San Antonio 
Texas State University
Trinity University
University of the Incarnate Word
UT San Antonio

Virtually, we are expecting students from:

Baylor University in Waco
Lone Star College in Houston
Schreiner University in Kerrville
Texas A&M Corpus Christi
Texas A&M International in Laredo
Texas A&M Kingsville
UT El Paso

In person attendees will break up into small teams as will the many remote students we are expecting to also participate from multiple campuses across Texas.  (Our chapter is covering the cost of their pizza and ice cream!)  Other virtual attendees will also be formed into teams (but dinner is on them!).

We will also change up our dinner menu and offer buffet style fajitas (beef, chicken and vegetarian), rice and beans dinner and begin serving at 5:45pm.  We will also have soft drinks and a dessert bar with some fun stuff on it.  For those born 21 years ago (or much earlier!) who are interested, you may purchase 1 glass of wine served with your dinner (pay when you sign in).

In addition, we are also bringing in a professional photographer to do headshots for LinkedIn, etc.  He will be set up and ready to begin at 5pm.  FIFO!  We are anticipating heavy interest, so make sure you come as early as possible.  Cost is $15 for non-members and $10 for members and students and will also be paid when you sign in.

The 1 hour of CPE has no pre-requisites.  Torey Reese, CMA (Chapter President) and Mike Lovelace, CMA (VP, Member Engagement) both from our annual sponsor – MGR Accounting Recruiters – will present Performing an Accounting Systems and Processes Assessment from one of their recent client engagements. It will provide insight into their methodology as well as the client deliverables and the results of the engagement.  This is stuff they just don't teach you in class and promises to be fun.

See you on the 20th!

Mike Lovelace, CMA
VP, Member Engagement
