I also want to sincerely thank you for allowing me to serve as chapter president this year. It has truly been an honor to lead this chapter, and I appreciate the support and involvement of our members throughout the year.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Memphis Zoo on April 25. It was a great day with beautiful weather, and we loved seeing members and their families together. We appreciate you being there and hope to see you at our next event!
TSCPA is going coastal to Isle of Palms, South Carolina, for the 95th Annual Meeting and Convention, June 9 – 12, 2026. One of the highlights of the convention is the silent auction fundraiser, with all proceeds benefiting TSCPA Educational & Memorial Foundation. Each year, TSCPA chapters support the auction by donating items and experiences, helping fund more than $300,000 annually in scholarships for Tennessee accounting students.
We invite you to consider donating an item or experience to this year’s silent auction. Suggested donations include airline miles, hotel points, vacation property stays, event or season tickets, and unique experiences or gift packages. To donate, please email Karen Eversman at keversman@tscpa.com.
Thank you again for your support this year. I look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events.
Sincerely,
Rob Palmer, CPA
TSCPA Memphis Chapter President
