Austin Certified Public Accountants' Wives Club ScrapbooksAn Inventory of the Collection
Administrative HistoryInspired by other cities where the wives of Certified Public Accountants were organized Mrs. Albert Caster invited other wives of Austin-area Certified Public Accountants to meet to discuss the organization of a wives club of Austin Certified Public Accountants. On January 26, 1955, at the Austin Country Club, the Austin Certified Public Accountants' Wives Club (Austin CPA Wives Club) was organized. The purpose was to unite its members and to cooperate in any way when needed in social activities of the Austin Chapter of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants. Following the practices of other CPA Wives Club wives were elected to the corresponding offices held by their husbands in the CPA professional organization. The first officers were: Mrs. Albert Caster (President), Mrs. John Lane Peck (Vice-President), Mrs. Billy R. Ramsey (Secretary) and Mrs. Blenn Welch (Treasurer).
