Celebrating BC's Newest FCPAs
Eleven chartered professional accountants were elected to the CPABC fellowship in 2015, in recognition of their exceptional volunteer services
to the profession, their career achievements, and their volunteer contributions to professional and not-for-profit organizations.
These newest FCPAs were recognized at the inaugural CPABC member recognition dinner on February 17, 2016, along with the profession’s
award winners for Early Achievement, Service to the Profession, and Community Service. The FCPAs were again recognized on March 29, at the
inaugural FCPA dinner, which was held at the Terminal City Club in Vancouver. More than 140 FCPAs gathered to celebrate the exceptional
accomplishments of the most recent recipients of this prestigious honour. Among them were several special guests, including outgoing CPA
Canada president and CEO Kevin Dancey, FCPA, FCA (Joy Thomas, FCPA, FCMA, has since taken on the role), and several members of
CPABC’s board of directors.
