Welcome to The Statement, reimagined

By Rebekah Olson, CPA
CEO, Maryland Association of CPAs
For decades, the MACPA's member magazine, The Statement, has been a trusted source of news, insights, and stories that connect Maryland’s accounting and finance community. It has chronicled our profession’s biggest moments, celebrated its leaders, and sparked important conversations about the future of work and the critical role that CPAs play.
Now, we’re taking that experience further.
We’re thrilled to announce that The Statement has been reimagined in a fully digital format — now hosted on MACPA News, our official blog. This change isn’t just about convenience; it’s about connection. In an era when change happens by the hour, our members deserve a publication that keeps pace — one that delivers timely, relevant, and shareable insights when they matter most.
The new Statement is designed to do exactly that. You’ll still find the same trusted coverage you’ve come to expect — stories about our community, advocacy updates from Annapolis and beyond, professional development insights, and practical resources to support your work. But now, this content will be refreshed and updated regularly, making it easier than ever to explore, search, and share.
This transformation reflects our commitment to serve you better — to meet you where you are, on the devices you use, with information that helps you stay informed and future-ready.
We invite you to experience the new Statement today on MACPA News. You’ll find fresh perspectives from me, from our Chair Maxene Bardwell, and from the many voices shaping the future of our profession.
It’s the same Statement you know and trust — only faster, fresher, and more connected than ever.
