Historical Note

Founded in 1911, the Society of Louisiana Certified Public Accountants elected George A. Treadwell as its first president in 1918. In August 1919 it held its first annual meeting in New Orleans with five members present. From that modest beginning, the LCPA has evolved into a non-profit professional association with more than 6,200 members statewide. It aims “to serve the common needs of its members and to enhance the professional environment in which they work.” The LCPA supports its members’ continuing education, advocates for their causes in the government arena, and promotes their services to the public. This small collection of the papers of George A. Treadwell dates from a relatively early period of the organization’s history.
