Central Arkansas AGA Chapter Noon meetings are held eight times during the year on the third Monday of the month and consist of a luncheon followed by a brief business session and guest speaker. Being educational in nature, each meeting provides attending members with an hour of continuing professional educational credit (CPE). The chapter strives to contribute to the community as well as to its members. Annually the chapter sponsors an accounting scholarship at UALR, provides volunteer income tax assistance under the VITA program, provides educational opportunities to its members with 2 full-day seminars, and supports worthy community service projects. The annual awards banquet is held each June to honor the Financial Manager of the Year and chapter members who have made significant contributions during the year. In December the holidays are celebrated with a social event. The chapter is one of the 25 largest AGA chapters (out of about 100) with a membership of over 200. Of this number, approximately 109 are state employees, about 60 are employed in private firms, about 28 are employed in other federal and city offices in Arkansas, and the remaining members are employed in academic or other entities. Approximately 87 members are CPA's, about 83 are CGFM's, and the remaining members are CFE's, CPM's, CIA's or hold other professional certifications or designations. The Arkansas State Board of Public Accountancy has recognized the Association as a CPE Provider exempt from registration with the Board. Our meetings and seminars qualify as CPE for CGFM's and Arkansas CPA's and do not require advance approval by the Board.
