[FICPA @FICPA]

The FICPA is proud to honor Sen. @JoeGruters with our 2024 Legislative Champion Award. Sen. Gruters played a leading role during this spring's Legislative Session, securing retired status for #CPAs and protecting the profession from legislation that would have devalued licensure.

Well said @Paul_Renner. Cyndi has been a close friend to the FICPA and as a CPA is one of our own. I am proud of her service in the Florida House of Representatives, and will miss her energy and enthusiasm.

[Paul Renner @Paul_Renner]

Cyndi Stevenson and I were sworn in together after our special elections in 2015, and she has been hard at work for the people of St. Johns County ever since. Cyndi, thank you for your friendship, your support, and your service. Adriana and I wish you and Henry all the best.
