WE NEED YOUR INPUT:    What is important to you as a member of the HRC VaSEA?  What topics would you like to see discussed at a meeting?  Who would you like to hear speak?  How important is the CPE credit?  Are there topics you would like to hear that do not qualify for CPE?  These might include practice management or certain accounting issues that are relevant to your EA practice, but are not strictly about taxes.  Come to the next meeting with your ideas or email George Walsh at gwalsh9@aol.com .
