🌟 Spotlight: Jay Michael Lang, EA - Enrolled Agent of the Year Nominee 🌟

Steady leadership. Financial excellence. Unwavering integrity. Jay Lang, EA, was nominated for Enrolled Agent of the Year in recognition of his exceptional service to CSEA and the EA profession.

As CSEA's Statewide Treasurer and Chair of the Finance & Budget Committee, Jay has been a trusted guardian of our financial health. His impact is transformative: he spearheaded CSEA's investment policy in collaboration with NAEA experts and provided essential guidance during the complex sale of the Society's building, positioning CSEA for greater flexibility and stability.

What sets Jay apart is how he leads. He leads with knowledge and grace. His detailed research brings clarity to difficult decisions, while his patience ensures every voice is heard. Jay also serves on the Executive Committee and Member Engagement & Promotion Committee, reflecting his belief that strong organizations require both fiscal discipline and genuine connection. A true model of professional excellence.

The CSEA Awards will be presented at Super Seminar in Reno, Nevada, June 16-18. Join us for one of the longest-running and most respected tax conferences in the profession. Registration is open now at superseminar.org. Don't miss this opportunity to learn, network, and celebrate excellence!

It's a wrap on our 2nd annual Last Chance Tax Update with Tom Gorczynski! We'd like to thank Tom for sharing his knowledge with our members and explaining complicated tax laws in an easy to understand format. A big thanks to our incredible volunteer team who pulled all of this together. Last but not least, thank you to everyone who joined us both in person and online. A special shout out to the large group from San Fernando Valley Chapter who flew up North to join us. As great as the last 2 days were, we also learned lessons on how to make next year even better.

Have you ever been so present in the moment that you completely forget to take pictures?!? Well that was us tonight. Luckily our friends from the Big Valley Chapter asked for a group photo and kindly shared that with us.

Our annual holiday party was a great success. Chapter president, David McKay prepared a delicious BBQ dinner for everyone and no one left hungry. We enjoyed a white elephant gift exchange & fun party games. The best part was the networking, sharing and opportunities to get to know each other better.

We are all looking forward to the Last Chance Update in January where our evening reception will provide us a chance to connect again before tax season. If you haven't registered yet, there's still time!

To everyone who made it out today, thank you for sharing your afternoon and evening with us. Happy Holidays from Sacramento Valley CSEA!
