AGA Audio Conferences

New! Download AGA's Education Catalog

AGA is proud to announce its schedule of the very popular audio conference series for the 2010-2011 program year, beginning July 1, 2010. This cost-effective educational tool is only $249 per phone line and attendance is unlimited. Just envision a 100-minute radio talk show that provides two continuing professional education (CPE) hours to the listeners. Further, since the last 20 minutes or so of the program is devoted to call-in questions, the audio conference provides interaction between the listeners and speakers.

The speakers are subject matter experts and will provide PowerPoint presentations or other handouts for the site coordinators to download and copy, as well as project to a screen, so participants can follow along during the telecast.

Lastly, CDs of the program will be available soon after the program is completed at a reasonable price. As you will see from the schedule below, AGA is planning 12 audio conferences this coming program year. But do not be surprised to see other audio conferences added to the schedule during the year as emerging issues come to light.

These telecasts are generally produced in conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers (NASACT) and the Association of Local Government Auditors. NASACT plans to do at least four additional audio conferences or webinars during the same period. Thus, you can earn at least 32 CPE hours from these training experiences.

The audio conferences are routinely held on Wednesdays from 2 to 3:50 p.m. EDT/EST unless otherwise noted. Please check the AGA website before each audio conference to ensure that there were no changes.

The audio conference series has been a huge success over the past few years for AGA and our customers. With thousands of participants earning two CPE hours for each program, AGA now offers practically monthly audio conferences each year that provide chapters and group membership agencies a cost effective and convenient way to provide quality education for members and others in the government accountability profession. The audio conferences have also attracted thousands of nonmembers that the National Office and chapters are contacting to encourage them to join.

If you have any questions about any of the audio conferences, contact Raymond Harris, Director of Chapter Operations and Audio Conference Producer, at 800.242.7211, ext. 339 or rharris@agacgfm.org.

How It Works
To register, please provide the name and contact information for the site coordinator. This person will receive an e-mail/fax confirmation once registered and call-in instructions via email approximately one week prior to the audio conference.

Materials for the Audio Conference
Once the site coordinator has registered, he/she will receive a confirmation that has a link to a website containing speaker biographies, PowerPoint presentations and CPE materials for download. Speaker materials should be copied and distributed to participants prior to the audio conference so they can follow along during the call.

How to Obtain CPE Hours
A registration confirmation will be sent to each site coordinator with links to a website where they can download a Sign-In Sheet to be completed the day of the event and fax back to AGA. Applicants should fill out a certificate of completion form and send it back to AGA for processing. Once approved by AGA, the continuing professional education certificate will be sent back to the individual.
