Dear AGA Central Arkansas Chapter Members and friends,
As we embark on another exciting year together, I am both honored and inspired to serve as your 2024-2025 Chapter President. Our chapter’s strength has always been rooted in the dedication, expertise, and passion of our members, and I am confident that this year will be no different.
This year, our focus is on Value Creation. It’s a theme that resonates deeply with the core mission of the AGA Central Arkansas Chapter and reflects our commitment to driving meaningful impact in everything we do.
Creating Value for Our Members in Professional Education
Our top priority is to ensure that your membership with AGA Central Arkansas is not just an affiliation but an asset. We are committed to offering robust professional development opportunities, from cutting-edge webinars to insightful PDT conference. These programs are designed to enhance your skills, expand your knowledge, and keep you at the forefront of the ever-evolving landscape of government financial management.
Creating Value for Our Community
Our chapter has a proud tradition of service, and this year, we are redoubling our efforts to give back to our community. Through volunteer initiatives and community outreach, we will work together to make a positive impact where it’s needed most. By leveraging our resources, we can help strengthen our impact to the community, thereby contributing to the greater good.
Creating Value for the Future with Young Professional and College Students
Looking ahead, we are also focused on the future of our profession. We will be placing a strong emphasis on mentoring and supporting the next generation of government financial leaders by encouraging and promoting the Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) certification, a leadership development for our young professionals and investing in students' participation. Together, we ensure that the legacy of excellence in public service continues to grow.
Our Role in Value Creation
Each of us plays a vital role in this journey. Whether you’re attending chapter meetings, participating in our events, or simply engaging with fellow members, your involvement is crucial. Together, we will create value that extends beyond our individual achievements—impacting our profession, our community, and the future of public service.
I encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities that our chapter provides. Your active participation is what will make this year truly exceptional. Let’s work together to create lasting value for ourselves and for those we serve.
Thank you for your commitment to the AGA Central Arkansas Chapter. I look forward to all that we will accomplish during the fiscal year, together.
Warm regards,
Lisa D Antinori
