Brett Parris
Brett Parris serves as the Accountability Director on the AGA Montgomery/Prince George's County Chapter board. In a time where many are doing their best to keep the status quo, his efforts toward growing the future of Government Financial Management remained strong. Brett planned and completed our chapter's Citizen-Centric Report (CCR). Brett further demonstrated leadership by reviewing other submissions. We learned this year that Brett and co-director Holly Donley's 2020/21 CCR submission was one of only 18 reports recognized with AGA's Recognition of Excellence. In addition to our chapter's CCR, our accountability leaders also advance government accountability by reaching out to our next generation of leaders. Each year, we run an AGA CCR Scholarship contest for local university students. Students from local colleges have the opportunity to demonstrate and spread knowledge by submitting their own CCRs to our chapter. The winning team is awarded at our annual Awards Gala. Brett has done an outstanding job promoting AGA, our industry, and our chapter.
