Welcome to NSAC - Far Western Chapter


Message from the President

Thank you for your interest and membership in the Far Western Chapter of the National Society of Accountants for Cooperatives!  The Chapter’s Board of Directors and Program Committee are working on putting together a fun, diverse and educational program for our 2020 Far Western Chapter meeting which will be held May 13-15, 2020 in San Diego, CA.  The timing of our annual meeting was moved up one week from the traditional pre-memorial day week in order to give our members flexibility to spend more time with their families and friends, which was voted on during our most recent 2019 annual meeting in Monterey, CA. 
 
Our Chapter’s Board of Directors includes representatives from cooperatives and those who serve cooperatives in our region.  I am honored to serve this chapter and its geographic and industry-diverse membership.   We encourage our members to get involved and provide feedback related to chapter events, program agendas and the various committee opportunities.  There are also significant resources and learning opportunities to be found on the National NSAC website.
 
Please take a few moments to learn more about the Far Western Chapter and consider how you can get involved in the Chapter during the coming year:
 
  1. Mark your calendars for the Far Western Chapter meeting, to be held May 13-15, 2020 in San Diego, CA.  Please join us for this opportunity to learn, earn CPE credits, and network with your peers in the industry.
  2.  Consider donating to our Early Bird and Late Bird prizes, which are distributed throughout each annual meeting.  We are seeking logo items, non-perishable food products, and cash donations for give-aways throughout our Monterey meeting. Please contact me with any questions or donations (shevargoonewardena@claconnect.com).
  3.  Contact me (shevargoonewardena@claconnect.com) if you have an interest on serving on a committee or have other suggestions and ideas to assist in building upon our Chapter and local cooperatives’ successes.
  4. Visit the National NSAC website at www.nsacoop.org to review the many resources available there, including Cooperative Learning Network
 
Sincerely,
Shevar Goonewardena
