aggressively promoting the profession to future generations, with the hope
of ensuring a labor force that will be able to lead the profession with
the large number of job vacancies coming as baby boomers retire in
droves. MSCPA's student
initiative, LEAP, is nationally recognized as one of the best and most
influential student recruitment initiatives in the
country. In addition, MSCPA is working
hard to help the profession with interstate practice mobility--an issue
that increasingly causes problems for our more mobile business
environment. Differing state
laws prohibit easy practice across state lines. MSCPA is working to introduce
legislation to the Access to the most
comprehensive CPE in the state, profession-specific publications, career
services, and savings and discounts are just a few great reasons why 8,500

> CFO
Survey Finds Integrity Most Desired Leadership
Quality
The mark of a good leader may
lie in his or her ability to be honest and upstanding, a new survey
suggests. Nearly one-third (31
percent) of chief financial officers (CFOs) polled said
the most important quality for a business leader to possess is
integrity. Experience and communication skills followed, each
receiving 27
percent of the
response. > Developing a Strategic Vision for Your Career
Plan
How many times
will you change careers in your lifetime? If you're like most people,
you'll change careers at least several times over the course of your life.
How successful you'll be in making transitions among careers can at least
be partially attributed to the amount of career planning and preparation
you've done. http://www.quintcareers.com/career_plan.html
> Road Map For Aspiring
CFOs Successful CFOs are also good
politicians, said Al Castino, CFO of Autodesk, Inc., a desktop design
software company. It isn't enough to be a Financial whiz, Castino told
Stanford students and faculty on May 3 at the Graduate School of
Business's annual Arjay Miller lecture, which brings a CFO to campus.

right ones. Read more here. http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/news/headlines/autodesk_Arjay.shtml > Business Cards Are Going Upscale
With wired
executives storing contact information on BlackBerries and other PDAs,
old-school business cards are routinely hitting the trash as soon as
they're uploaded. To make their calling cards more of a statement, some
professionals are commissioning ones that come as big as a license plate
or are made out of everything from wood to corrugated steel. Beyond the
requisite name and number, some "story cards" are printed with lengthy
narratives to draw in new acquaintances. http://www.careerjournal.com/jobhunting/networking/20060508-barnes.html
