About Us

Welcome to the Washington Metro Area Chapter (WMAC) website!  On behalf of our members and the Executive Committee I would like to thank you for visiting this website.  Our chapter is dedicated to providing payroll professionals with an arena to grow professionally.  Our bi-monthly chapter meetings provide members with the most current up to date payroll news and information as well as providing a forum to network with other payroll professionals in the area.

I encourage you to explore our website.  In 1983, Maureen (Reed) Brown (founder) officially formed the WMAC and our current membership base now exceeds 200 members!  Here in the DC area, we have a unique opportunity because we have at our fingertips key U.S. Government agencies (Congress, IRS, SSA, and the Department of Labor) that provide the legislation and framework from which we perform our jobs.  Our chapter actively solicits speakers from these agencies to give you the latest news and information as well as pending and future legislation.  The WMAC also offers a study group in the late spring to help those interested in studying for the FPC or CPP exams.  These are only a couple of the great ways to get involved in the Chapter and meet people with similar professional goals. 

The WMAC prides itself as a chapter that gives back to its community.  In the past few years, we have worked with organizations like Grandma’s House, Ronald McDonald House, The Holiday Project, and Martha’s Table.  WMAC members give both time and money in support of these local & national organizations.  Our members visited the elderly in nursing homes providing and ear and smile to the residents.  We also served Christmas Dinner to the homeless and less fortunate.   We have even had a member dress up as Santa Claus to hand out presents to the children at Grandma’s House. 

Please accept this as my personal invitation to join us at our next Chapter meeting.  I would love to meet and talk with you about how we might partner to make the Washington Metro Area Chapter  the best Chapter we can be.
