AGA's NLC
Registration Deadline Extended
If you have not yet registered for the 2005 National leadership
conference, to be held February 7 – 8, in Washington, D.C., this is
your opportunity to take advantage of an extended early-bird
registration deadline. AGA will accept the early-bird rate until
Friday, January 21, a savings to you of $100.00.
Because the conference brochures were mailed in December rather than
during November as is the custom, and because the brochures seem to
have traveled at a snail's pace to some of our members, the decision
was made to offer everyone more time to register.
This Year's Program Is Not To Be Missed!
With the federal
government’s emphasis on linking budgets to agencies’ performance,
financial managers are providing timely information that can result
in better management and evaluation of federal programs. Conforming
with the new requirements of the President’s Management Agenda,
working within strict budget constraints and adapting to a
constantly new changing environment are mighty tasks for federal
managers.
State and local
governments face similar challenges – performance reporting is
coming to the fore in these arenas, and as always, officials are
seeking ways to stretch their dollars farther than ever before.
There is no better place to get the knowledge
you need than at AGA’s 2005 National Leadership Conference. With the
theme “Improving Government Performance: Financial Managers Take
Center Stage” you will come away with a better understanding of how
you can work more efficiently and to better serve your agency and
government. The NLC offers 14 CPE hours from the best in the
accountability profession. This year’s speakers include:
-
