Kymberly Messersmith from KPMG in Washington, D.C., Justin Brady from Radcliffe Gilbertson & Brady, and Joni Sundquist from the Nebraska Society of CPAs discuss the taxation of professional services in the Rotunda of the Nebraska Capitol. (Gordon), Steve Erdman (Bayard), Steve Halloran (Hastings), Lou Ann Linehan (Elkhorn), John Lowe (Kearney), Mike McDonnell (Omaha), Tony Vargas (Omaha), Lynne Walz (Fremont), Justin Wayne (Omaha), and Anna Wishart (Lincoln) due to term limits. Senator Fred Meyer (St. Paul), who was appointed last year, has chosen not to run for election, and Senator Julie Slama (Dunbar) is not seeking reelection. Elections this year will include 25 of the 49 seats. Given Governor Pillen’s comments, the service of these senators may not yet be done. Through the Society’s Political Education Committee (PEC), we can provide direct campaign support to candidates for the Nebraska Legislature who value and understand the CPA profession, regardless of party affiliation. Supporting a legislator’s campaign increases the likelihood of capturing their attention on issues that matter to the profession. By joining forces with fellow NESCPA members through the PEC, you help the Society build alliances with state senators who influence legislation. By law, none of your dues dollars may be allocated toward the PEC. CPAs must make all political contributions voluntarily. Learn more and contribute at nescpa.org/advocacy/contribute. Winning Your Membership If you’re looking to find value as a member, consider your Society’s involvement in the legislative, regulatory, and political process. It takes your membership, the volunteer leadership of numerous Nebraska CPAs, and the courage to “embrace discomfort” to make things happen. There is no doubt that our collective efforts and resilience will define the future success of the CPA profession in Nebraska. Joni Sundquist is president and executive director of the Nebraska Society of CPAs. You may contact her at (402) 476-8482 or joni@nescpa.org. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 CALL US TODAY!
