Background: The late George E. Brady was a member of AGA from 1957 until 1996. He served as the Boston Chapter President of AGA (1964-1965).

In 1954 George applied for his CPA license where he had to demonstrate that he had the requisite two years of public accounting experience.

As a result of his tenacity, the board granted him his CPA license. He was the first person to have government service recognized as public accounting experience by the licensing board.
