For CPAAI firms wanting to join the network
In order to support CPAAI association firms in Latin America who are considering joining the MGI Worldwide network, the region held a virtual meeting on 14 May to explain the advantages and process involved in making the move to the network.
Hosted by Regional Director Andrea Pallas, the meeting included a presentation by Clive Bennett, CEO, who then took questions from members across the region, leading to a lively discussion. Juan Carlos Guerra, from Ecuador-based member firm MGI Guerra & Asociados, then highlighted the advantages of taking on the MGI branding and its global identity.
Congratulations to MGI Latin America for all its hard work in moving the Region forward, even through these difficult times!
