Happy New Year!

We hope everyone was able to relax, enjoy celebrating the holidays and has had a great start to 2025!  The start of the new year brings the renewed promise of the AGA DC Chapter's continued committment to achieving our shared goals:

  • Continue focus on on chapter financial controls, performance metrics, transparency, documentation, process standardization and accountability.
  • Increase in-person participation in chapter activities while continue to offer virtual access to events.
  • Increase membership and retention by offering best-in-class events, training, volunteer and professional growth opportunities.
  • Support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility efforts.
  • Inject motivation into our luncheon, training, CGFM, Young Professionals, and Community Service programs to increase participation and value delivered to our members.
  • Increase collaboration with government leadership in efforts such as promoting government financial management careers and the value of AGA membership.
