Jackie Brown, CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs, has announced that she will retire on June 30, 2022. Jackie has been a member of the MACPA for 42 years and has served as the association’s president and CEO since early 2021.
From an article on the Maryland Association of CPAs website announcing her retirement:
Brown joined the MACPA in 1981 as a member of the association’s public relations team. She rose steadily through the ranks as part of the MACPA’s membership and CPE teams, and eventually was named chief operating officer when Tom Hood joined the staff as CEO in January 1997.
She was promoted to CEO in February 2021 when Hood left the association to become executive vice president of business growth and engagement at the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants.
“I’m so very grateful for the opportunity to work for this extraordinary profession, in various roles, for nearly 42 years,” Brown said. “So many priceless relationships have made that possible — members I call friends, colleagues from all over the country and, right here in Maryland, the absolutely fantastic MACPA team.”
The search for Jackie’s permanent successor has begun and a committee led by former MACPA Board of Directors Chair Ken Kelly is tasked with selecting the new CEO. Manis Canning & Associates wishes Jackie the best in her retirement.
