2010 CPE Mountain Cluster
October 21–22 ▪ Asheville, NC ▪ The Grove Park Inn Resort and Spa
Autumn is here—the first chill is in the air and CPE season is in full-swing. Just like the inviting aroma and warmth of hot chocolate on a cool day, NCACPA’s Mountain Cluster has all the elements to help you earn CPE in a relaxed environment.
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountain landscape during peak leaf-changing season, the program gives you essential accounting information at an affordable rate in a beautiful setting. Because of the program’s mix-n-match design, you can choose from various four-hour sessions and top-notch speakers to create the schedule that works best for you. After loading up on CPE, grab a rocking chair on the porch of the historic Grove Park Inn for a front row seat of the changing Fall foliage. We’ve secured discounted hotel rates just for Cluster participants. Space is limited, so don’t wait until it’s too late!
Pull out your favorite mug and create a toasty blend of CPE.
