ASV Membership

2008/2009

Dear ASV Members,

Thank you for being an ASV member this past year. We greatly appreciate your loyalty and support. ASV is dedicated to serving independent tax and accounting professionals and fought hard for the right of unlicensed practitioners to call themselves “Accountants” in the State of Virginia. It is time to renew your ASV membership and your commitment to the success of your business and to the future of independent tax and accounting professionals.

Membership dues have not increased in 11 years, even though costs have risen annually! With that being said, you will notice a modest increase in your membership dues this year.

During this year, your Society will be offering additional member-only, cost saving benefits as well as cutting edge self-study and seminar options. If you have not been to our web site lately, and/or have not joined the ASV Exchange, please do so. We are in the process of adding a “Members Only” section that will contain discounts to members. This will become available later in the new membership year. We will continue adding benefits to this section as they become available.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the ASV office at 800-927-2731.

Thank you for renewing your ASV membership promptly. The ASV Board of Directors and staff look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Sincerely,

William R. Silzer, ATP
ASV President

P.S. Your Society has fought for your rights and supported you for 60 years and now we need your support, so please renew now. By renewing before September 1, 2008, you will avoid a reinstatement fee of $50.00.
