HMD's CGA history

H. Michael Dunphy, FCGA began working for the association in the early 1960’s when he and some of his fellow employees at Revenue Canada’s Saint John New Brunswick office completed the CGA program. Mike along with others such as Frank Bishop, CGA (deceased) and Al Smith CGA volunteered to advance the association’s presence in Atlantic Canada. Mike was the first executive director of the Atlantic region. In the early 60’s CGA’s did not have public practice rights in Newfoundland. Mike met with Joey Smallwood’s government in an attempt to gain recognition in this province. A national convention was held in Saint John’s NFLD in the 1970’s. In addition, Mike held a position with the CGA national education committee in 1964 when the CGA program was offered in Bermuda and the Caribbean.
