> MSCPA Leadership Changes With New
Fiscal Year
This
month begins the new fiscal year for MSCPA. With the fiscal year
change, MSCPA also welcomes a new slate of officers, board members, and
chapter leaders. Congratulations to Rick Mills, a partner with Mayer
Hoffman McCann/CBIZ in Kansas City,
who will lead the society as chair during this new fiscal year. A very special thanks to Bob Torretta,
a sole practitioner from St. Charles,
who has done an outstanding job of leading and enhancing the profession, as
well as the society, over this past year.

> In Search of Growth Leaders
Powerful catalysts for organic
growth often exist deep within an organization, hidden and untapped. We're
talking about a special breed of midlevel managers -- men and women who
possess the vision, leadership and entrepreneurial talents that together make
up what we refer to as a growth leader.

> Seven Rules for Networking Success
Many people think that
networking during a job search means calling everyone you know and asking
them for a job. They associate networking with being pushy, overbearing, and
an overall pest. People often shy away from networking because they don't
want to be labeled as this type of person. But research shows that 70-80
percent of all jobs are filled through networking.
