Annual VSCPA Pickleball Round Robin Hosted by Young Professional Advisory Council

Paddles up! Ready to network without the awkward small talk? Join fellow CPAs for a pickleball round-robin, where the connections happen across the court. Bring your own team, or show up solo, and we'll pair you up. Either way, you'll rotate through matches, meet peers from across the profession, and build relationships in a setting that's a lot more fun than a name tag and a cocktail napkin.No pickleball experience required, just a competitive streak and a willingness to laugh off a few missed shots. Grab your paddle (or borrow one of ours) and get ready to network, one point at a time. Light snacks and drinks will be provided.

DC Metro Fall Networking Social

Hosted by our Young Professionals Advisory Council and Small Practitioners Peer Learning Group, you're bound to meet new folks who understand the pressure of being a CPA. Come solo or bring a colleague. Either way, you'll enjoy great drinks, delicious food and great connections. Registration comes with two drinks and appetizers.
