| Comments |
| Overall, I feel the topics and locations are appropriate. I usually take off after tax season. Meetings should not be scheduled in April or October. |
| Meetings tend to be around our firm related deadlines, making it hard for me to attend. |
| I attended meetings to meet peers and learn more how to better serve my firm. I tried to give back by serving on the board to help others. I didn't attend any meetings last year because of a variety of reasons. |
| OMG, I need the interaction with this wonderful group to bounce ideas off of, get re-energized by, and they're an awesome group to spend time with! |
| I find it difficult leaving for a meeting at 11am as I no sooner get to work and get wrapped up in my duties then have to leave. I work for a small tax only firm and most topics don't apply to me. Roundtable discussions are optimal, but I don't think others want to hear what doesn't apply to them. We recently converted to the Cloud and my firm is open to remote workers so I am curious as to how other firms are handling this. |
| One of our team members at my Firm attends most of the meetings, but I have and also plan to attend meeting if deemed necessary in the future. |
| The time of the meeting depends upon the length and location of the meeting, so in questions #3 and #5 may change depending upon the location and date. |
| Why I don't attend: Location of meetings |
| I don't attend meetings regularly because of the travel time needed for meetings in Maryland. It takes a big chunk of my day to drive there, attend and drive back -- normally time I don't have available to expend because I am so busy. |
| It's based on my availability, and I attend meetings that are relevant to our firm and my role, and if it's educational. |
| The meetings have always been informative and enlightening. |
