Legislative Representation & Government Relations Are a Priority The continued increase in legislative proposals affecting the CPA profession requires representation in the legislative arena. The Society’s presence at the State Capitol and its visibility on the national level are critical. Lobbying For CPAs When the Nebraska Legislature is in session, the Society’s lobbying efforts ensure the views of Nebraska CPAs are known. The first lobbyist for the Society was hired in 1956. Today, the Society’s lobbyists, Walt Radcliffe, Korby Gilbertson, and Justin Brady of Radcliffe, Gilbertson & Brady, scrutinize every legislative bill, keep track of amendments, and become involved with legislative action on all bills that have a specific impact on the CPA profession. In addition, the Society testifies at public hearings and pens letters of support and/or opposition as needed. CPE CATALOG AND MEMBER GUIDE 33 Society Overview
