Looking to step away from the screen, stretch your legs, and reconnect after tax season — with people who truly get it?

Join CalCPA’s LA and OCLB members for a Walk & Connect event set along a tucked-away coastal trail in Rancho Palos Verdes.

This lesser-known trail drops along the side of a hillside and offers stunning ocean views, refreshing sea breezes, and a peaceful setting that feels worlds away from deadlines and busy schedules.

What to expect

• A ~2–mile hike with moderate difficulty
• Short distance with healthy hills and rewarding coastal views
• Beautiful ocean scenery and a cool sea breeze
• Organic, low-pressure networking between LA and OCLB members
• A chance to decompress and reset after tax season
• Free to attend

Why we’re meeting

The best conversations don’t always happen in conference rooms. CalCPA’s Walk & Connect series is designed to create space for real connection — through movement, fresh air, and shared experience. This joint LA and OCLB hike is an opportunity to expand your network, decompress after a demanding season, and spend time with people who understand the challenges of the profession and are there to listen.

Whether you’re early in your career, deep into it, or just looking for community, your presence helps strengthen our CalCPA network.

What to bring

• Comfortable walking or hiking shoes (opt for hiking shoes on this one if you have them) and casual attire
• Water bottle
• Sunscreen, hat, or sunglasses
• Business cards (optional)
• A relaxed mindset and openness to connection
