Dear AICPA Volunteer, As we look ahead to the 2014-2015 AICPA volunteer year, we would like to express our appreciation of your continued contributions to the CPA profession through your service to the Uniform CPA Examination. Your work helps to ensure that the Examination remains reliable, valid, relevant and of the highest quality. We are in the process of recruiting new members to join our volunteer team and are asking for your help in identifying potential candidates. Nineteen positions are opening across the Board of Examiners (BOE) and its subcommittees, and as some positions fulfill dual purposes, a total of seventeen people will be needed to fill those positions. Current committee members who are returning do not need to re-apply to maintain their position. The open positions with the relevant skill sets and experience required are outlined below. We ask that you respond to this e-mail with your referrals by Friday, May 2, 2014; volunteers are requested to submit their applications through Volunteer Central by May 15. Please take a moment to review the instructions for submitting applications that follow the chart.
