NEW! ADVANTAGE Organization Member Program

"Well basically, it boiled down to the numbers. Looking at the cost of membership compared to what we would save on training courses, we could realize a savings of 30 percent, plus pay for the membership.”
- Randall Griffin, Director of Internal Audit, NY State Department of Health.

Take ADVANTAGE of AGA’s new Organization Member Program today. Join other government accountability agencies that value their staff and are willing to invest in their professional development and continuing education. Now, more than ever, it is vital that your government organization show its support of professional staff while benefiting from the savings on a wide range of exciting professional development opportunities. By taking ADVANTAGE of AGA’s Organization Member Program, your government agency will benefit for years to come.

For the purposes of this program, organizations are defined as individual divisions, groups or departments. Examples include the State of Oregon’s Department of Administrative Services; the Social Security Administration’s Office of Inspector General; the State of New York’s Office of the State Comptroller; NASA’s Office of the CFO; and Virginia Commonwealth University’s Office of Audit and Management Services. This program is only open to government agencies at this time.

Exclusive ADVANTAGE Member Benefits

In addition to offering group members countless opportunities to network with peers, exchange ideas, build leadership skills, make friends and professional contacts and keep up with the latest developments, your government agency will receive these cost saving benefits:

• Reduced registration fees (discounted at member rates) for staff members attending AGA’s nationally sponsored conferences and training programs (employees in the group membership are eligible for member rates as well as an equivalent number of employees that are not in the group membership program). These reduced fees DO NOT apply to local chapter events.
   

• In addition to the group members receiving copies, your agency will receive free additional copies (one for every 10 group members, up to 30 copies) of the Journal of Government Financial Management, AGA’s outstanding, quarterly magazine that provides in-depth coverage of topics important to the accountability profession.
   

• A 10 percent discount on numerous AGA products, including study guides to prepare for the Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) Exams, audio conferences and other AGA books.

Special Recognition: Your government agency will be recognized in AGA promotional materials and at national conferences as an ADVANTAGE Member Partner with the Association. Such recognition will enhance the prestige of your agency and AGA.

Fees

You decide what level of support your employees receive through this program. At the highest level of support, Platinum, the organization fee is the number of employees in your group times the $90 full government rate. Or, if you decide upon a sharing approach to membership, at the Gold level, the organization fee is the number of employees in your group times $45. At this level, the employees share the cost of membership by paying the remaining $45 each for the full government rate of $90. At the Silver level, the organization fee is the number of employees in your group times $30. And the employees share the cost of membership by paying the remaining $60 each for the full government rate of $90.

“It was completely black and white. It was a cost benefit you couldn’t pass up.”
