The Association of Government Accountants was founded as the Federal Government Accountants Association (FGAA) by Robert W. King and a group of federal government accountants on September 14, 1950. The Association expanded in 1975 to include state and local government finance professionals. At that time, the organization's name was changed to the Association of Government Accountants (AGA). In 2022 the organization was rebranded and the AGA now stands for advance, grow, and accelerate (AGA).
The Jackson Chapter of AGA has over 140 members. The National AGA organization has more than 14,000 members, who include elected officials, senior executives, mid-level managers, entry-level employees and students, work in government financial management professions including accounting, auditing, budgeting, financial reporting, performance reporting, grants management, contract management and information systems.
Our members connect to each other via chapters, leadership roles, networking at national events, and through social media.
