Welcome to the 2024-2025 program year! I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your continued support of the AGA.

Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Carla Nieto, and I am honored to serve as the President of the AGA Albuquerque Chapter. I am currently employed as an Accounting Manager for the City of Albuquerque. This year marks my second term on the Chapter Executive Committee, having previously served as a member at large. As part of my goals for this program year, I will be pursuing my Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) designation, and I warmly invite you to join me on this journey. Our chapter offers various resources to support you, so please feel free to reach out to our CGFM chairs with any inquiries.

I would like to express my gratitude to our Immediate Past-President, Emily Wilson, for her exemplary leadership and dedication to the Chapter during the previous year. I also wish to acknowledge our remarkable Chapter Executive Committee, whose efforts are vital in orchestrating publications, education programs, speaker engagements, community outreach initiatives, and other opportunities available to our members.

The CEC is actively planning an engaging program for our members this year, including continuing education webinars and in-person events such as the Winter Series and our annual Professional Development Training (PDT). Additionally, we have organized several exciting membership events and meaningful community service activities.
