You may contac t him at (402) 471-3595 or dan.sweetwood@nebraska.gov . You may also contact Kristen VanWinkle, administrator of the State Board, at kristen.vanwinkle@nebraska.gov . Melissa Ruff, CPA; Rand Hansen, CPA; Michele Stromp, CPA; and Joni Sundquist, president, Nebraska Society. Additionally, the Nebraska Society of CPAs launched a task force with the assistance of the State Board to address succession issues of small CPA firms in Nebraska after a firm questioned current requirements. We anticipate recommendations arising from the task force that will include changes to the current Nebraska Public Accountancy Act and State Board regulations regarding non-CPA ownership in Nebraska. Stay tuned—more to come on this! In addition to Society President Sundquist and myself, task force members include Ryan Burger, CPA, chairman; Marcy Luth, CPA, vice chairman; Dr. Thomas Purcell, CPA; and DanaWeber, CPA. New Members! It is always exciting to have new members join the State Board, although we will miss those who have been with us for the last eight years. Christi Olsen, CPA, and Mark Manning, CPA, have been appointed by the Governor and made the commitment to volunteer their valuable time to address the needs of the public and the profession as State Board members. Please join me in thanking them for their service! Additionally, the State Board is looking for newmembers this year, including a CPA from the second congressional district and a CPA from the third congressional district. If interested, go to the Governor’s website at https://governor.nebraska.gov/board-comm-req. Take care and never hesitate to contact us with any questions and/or concerns! t
