Marta Zaniewski

Zaniewski leads AICPA’s state regulatory and legislative efforts and builds strong, collaborative relationships with internal and external stakeholders on issues that impact the CPA profession. She serves as the AICPA’s primary voice and contact on those matters, working closely with state CPA societies, state boards of accountancy, the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, the Alliance for Responsible Professional Licensing (ARPL) and state legislative and executive branch officials.
