Debra M. Simon CPA MST
I have worked for two State CPA societies for the past 20 years and can think of very few people who have shown the dedication and commitment that Debra Simon has to the CPA profession. She has generously given of her time and talent in so many ways – from committee related work, handling technical inquiries, providing assistance to the Society’s chapters to speaking at numerous conferences and special statewide events. And the list simply goes on from there. She has served in a variety of leadership positions over a decade of service and has provided great insight into the critical issues and projects at hand. I believe our Society and the CPA profession have been made stronger through her hard work, determination and guidance.
