Within these pages, you’ll meet the faces of our profession: those who laid its foundations, those shaping its present, and those preparing it for the future.  \nThis milestone is more than an anniversary. It’s a recognition of the people who have defined our profession—not just through their titles or technical skills, but through their integrity, leadership, and service. CPAs who have chosen to lead with principle, lift others as they climb, and strengthen their communities one act at a time.  \nThe world around us is changing rapidly. New technologies, shifting expectations, and global uncertainties continue to reshape how we work. But one thing remains constant: the character and commitment of Alberta’s CPAs. You don’t just keep pace with change—you lead through it.  \nThe story of the profession is written not in spreadsheets, but in the humanity of CPAs—the resilience, mentorship, innovation, and heart. Thank you for all you’ve done to contribute to the profession’s story over the past 10 years and for all you will do in the chapters to come.  \nI hope you see yourself in these pages. And I hope you’re as inspired as I am by where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed.   \nIn the season finale of the CPA Education Foundation’s podcast, Uncommon Sense, Rachel and former Board Chair, Greg Draper FCPA, FCGA, reflect on the unification that shaped today’s profession.   \nRachel’s 1, 2, 3s  \n+ 19 % i,be20186rh5C, ipfPgroAromswt26,h985 345 Asiniiveieiuenamifil seciveAwonreacerdsived 83 % oryrseeuparsati-visnieissattoivyoeenrar   \nEditor-in-Chief Chris Pilger [cpilger@cpaalberta.ca](cpilger@cpaalberta.ca)  \nSupervising Editor  \nSarah Maludzinski[smaludzinski@cpaalberta.ca](smaludzinski@cpaalberta.ca)[ ](smaludzinski@cpaalberta.ca)Managing Editor  \nCaroline Pulford [cpulford@cpaalberta.ca](cpulford@cpaalberta.ca)  \nContributors Labonn","cbCaihpOThx6gRip","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihpOThx6gRip","pdf",53004305,56,"English","# From the Profession\n## The story of us: Past, present, future\n## A message from Rachel Miller\n# Land Acknowledgment\n## Acknowledging the land we call Alberta\n# In Balance\n## The designation for a lifetime\n# Wellness Insights\n## From CPA Assist\n# Foundation Update\n## Two new initiatives\n# Feature\n## First class CPAs\n## Elevate\n# Professional Growth\n## He thought his job was safe—until the numbers started talking back\n# Recruitment Focus\n## Dear future CPA\n# Supplied Content\n## Supporting accountants in the era of AI\n# Risk & Reputation\n## Accounting—ASPE\n# In Memoriam\n## February 1 to June 15, 2025\n# We’ve Got Your Back\n## Connecting you to the CPA Alberta Board","[{\"question\":\"What is the main theme of the Summer 2025 issue of Dividends?\",\"answer\":\"The issue reflects on how the unified CPA designation has evolved over the past 10 years and celebrates the ongoing story being written together, alongside profession-focused features and updates.\"},{\"question\":\"Which section acknowledges Alberta’s land and Indigenous peoples?\",\"answer\":\"The “Land Acknowledgment” section, titled “Acknowledging the land we call Alberta,” describes the traditional and ancestral territories and the Edmonton area.\"},{\"question\":\"What topics are covered under professional development and organizational updates?\",\"answer\":\"The issue includes “Professional Growth” and “Recruitment Focus,” plus updates such as “From CPA Assist,” “Foundation Update,” and “We’ve Got Your Back,” covering guidance, initiatives, and connection to the CPA Alberta Board.\"}]","DIVIDENDS SUMMER 2025 - Magazine for Alberta’s Chartered Professional Accountants | PDF",141]
