The Maryland Society of Accountants has presented a Fellow designation since 1994 and each year thereafter.  This annual designation is a prestigious means by which you can convey your commitment to continuing professional education.

The Fellow designation is designed for those individuals whose dedication to professional excellence is at the highest level and is manifested through the Maryland Society of Accountants educational programs.  The designation, presented on a handsome certificate, is meant to convey to clients and the public a standard of professionalism through education that far exceeds any regulatory compliance requirement.

2008 brought the inauguration of the "15 year" seal for the Fellow certificate.  Those who have been a "Fellow" for fifteen years receive a new certificate with the "15 year" seal affixed.  In addition, those who receive the 15 year Fellow designation will receive a "15 year" gift.  This gift will be awarded to the recipients in the Spring of each year.

MSA awarded a $100 voucher to those who were awarded the "MSAF 2009" designation.  The voucher can be used for education seminars or reference manual orders.

The Maryland Society of Accountants presents an extensive and diversified educational program that is geared to the practical needs of our profession.  Each year our members and others are presented with ongoing opportunities to improve themselves through our practical educational programs.

In 2009-2010 the Maryland Society of Accountants will present more than 150 credit hours of continuing professional education.  Cumulative records will be kept on each of our attendees.  Those that total 60 or more hours of educational credits will be awarded the designation of Maryland Society of Accountants Fellow 2010 (MSAF 2010).  The MSAF 2010 certificates will be mailed in January of 2010.

We look forward to your participation in this outstanding program.,  We anticipate that the program will gain popularity and recognition through the acceptance of the designation MSAF by the profession and the public we serve.  The day will soon arrive when the terms "professional excellence" and "MSAF" will be synonymous.
