100 Years and Counting
OSCPA Celebrates its Centennial in 2008
|
|
On Sept. 28, 1908, a group of leading accountants gathered in Portland and voted to form the Oregon State Society of Public Accountants.
The mission of that group was simple: to elevate the profession of public accounting, and to unite all of the public accountants in the state in one organization.
Nearly 100 years later, the Oregon Society of Certified Public Accountants is going strong, and the basic mission is still the same. |
Throughout 2008, the OSCPA will honor its centennial year and all of the previous volunteer effort and hard work that went into building the Society as we know it today. Special centennial receptions will be held at events such as the annual Circle of Excellence awards banquet and at the annual Career Showcase.
