In a notable demonstration of their commitment to professional growth and knowledge enhancement, key leadership members from our chapter recently participated in the prestigious Annual Professional Development Training (PDT) event hosted by the Association of Government Accountants (AGA).
Held each July, AGA's PDT event serves as the pinnacle of educational opportunities for professionals in the government accountability sector. This year, it once again delivered on its reputation by offering attendees the chance to earn up to 24 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours.
One of our chapter representatives had this to say about the event: "My favorite part was catching up with other AGA members from AGALead. There were multiple sessions, so I was able to stack my schedule with topics that were of interest to my personal growth. I was able to take something away from each session for projects that I am working on whether it was related to accounts payables, data analysis, or leadership."
AGA's PDT event has consistently attracted top officials from federal, state, and local governments, along with academics and private sector experts, for over six decades. Attendees benefit from intensive training sessions, expert insights, and unparalleled networking opportunities. The event's unique format brings together industry experts and colleagues who have tackled similar challenges, ensuring a rich educational experience.
In addition to the comprehensive educational program, the PDT event features top-notch speakers representing various sectors, including federal, state, local government, academia, and the private sector. Attendees have the chance to stay on the cutting edge of their field by gaining insights into key findings and the latest advancements in government financial management.
Furthermore, the event provides a platform for professionals to network and connect with peers and experts from across the nation, facilitating the exchange of valuable ideas and solutions to common challenges.
Our chapter leadership's participation in AGA's PDT event underscores their dedication to staying informed, expanding their skill sets, and contributing to the ever-evolving field of government accountability. This commitment not only benefits them individually but also enriches our chapter's collective expertise.
We look forward to the continued growth and success of our chapter as our leadership members bring back their newfound knowledge and insights to share with our local community.
