Advocacy Events

Connecting tax professionals with lawmakers and decision-makers

What We Do

Our advocacy events focus on initiating necessary change and producing tangible results for Enrolled Agents and tax professionals in California. Through our two grassroots events you are able to gain valuable face time with the decision-makers who influence tax policy. As America's tax experts, Enrolled Agents are a valuable resource for these groups and our events are designed to leverage that knowledge for the benefit of CA taxpayers. Our events are:
