In order to remain relevant and valuable across the board, CalCPA is modernizing in all key areas of the business. The purpose is futureproofing. CalCPA will stay the premier resource by aligning with member expectations and professional trends.  

Community is reimagined. Borderless, interest-driven engagement (hubs, member-led meetups, signature events, special interest communities) supported by members in CA Forums, and advisory councils. 

Achieve your professional goals with CalCPA by building meaningful relationships and fostering a sense of belonging within our vibrant community. We believe that connections and community are at the heart of professional growth. Discover some of the ways you can engage with fellow members and enhance your professional journey.

Meet-ups

Participate in our Meet-Ups, casual events created by and for members. Whether online via Zoom or in-person, these gatherings offer opportunities for deeper, interactive dialogues on topics that matter to you.

Use CalCPA’s new engagement app (launching in early 2026) to create and find events near you and chat with other attendees. The gatherings can be one-offs or curated through our Special Interest Communities (see below).

Special Interest Communities (SICs)
