From The President
 J. Michael Hilliard, CPA
2007-2008 President
The current fiscal year of our Society will come to an end on May 31. The achievements attained during the past twelve months have come as a result of members and staff who have dedicated their time and efforts to serving the Society and the profession. The Society will celebrate its 80th anniversary on May 22nd and it is impossible to recognize such a milestone without reflecting on those who had the vision to plant the seed. The accomplishments attained this year were possible because of the foundation laid by those who worked so diligently to serve our society and the profession in the past. This year’s achievements reflect the continuation and, in some instances, necessary changes of solid existing programs as well as new initiatives.
