As the holiday season approaches, we’re reminded how meaningful it is to express gratitude — not only in our personal lives, but within our professional community. That’s why we’re excited to highlight COCPA’s Fall 2025 Member Appreciation Day – CPE on the House, taking place December 17–18, 2025. This special two-day webcast is a sincere thank-you to our members for their dedication to the profession.

Members can earn 12 hours of high-quality CPE at no cost, making this one of the most valuable member benefits of the year.
