Journal of Accountancy (April 16, 2025)- A chair, by definition, is stationary.
A chair, when occupied by Carla McCall, CPA, CGMA, is anything but.
“Some chair roles are like, ‘Oh, you’re the chair, but you don’t really do much,’” McCall said. “This chair position is immersed in the profession.”
McCall’s tenure as AICPA chair has been filled with activity and advocacy. One example: In a recent 10-day stretch, she attended four AICPA regional council meetings in four days (New York to Chicago to Los Angeles to Dallas), spoke to students at North Carolina State University, and attended the AICPA and CPA.com AI in Accounting and Finance Symposium in New York City.
