Advocacy Day
PICPA's inaugural Advocacy Day is designed to deepen members’ understanding of the policymaking environment, strengthen relationships with legislators, and raise the visibility of the CPA profession in Harrisburg.
Join us in Harrisburg for Advocacy Day — a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and make your voice heard. We invite you to be part of this important initiative and help shape the future of the profession.
Attendees will receive:
- Briefings on PICPA’s legislative priorities, highlighting key issues shaping the profession
- Insights from state policymakers and subject-matter experts on the policy landscape
- Advocacy training designed to strengthen your understanding of the legislative process and enhance your communication skills
The day will conclude with a guided tour of the Pennsylvania State Capitol, providing valuable context ahead of our next Day on the Hill on June 15, 2027. Full agenda coming soon!
