“I was impressed by the slate of speakers for the keynote and breakout sessions. The variety of breakout sessions allowed me to select sessions that were interesting and relevant to me.” — Michelle Blatt
“As a first-time attendee, PDT delivered exceptional speakers and the sessions provided were professional, informative and very applicable in today’s government work force. And what a fantastic opportunity to network with a variety of government leaders from around the nation. PDT is worth the time and money to attend.” — Shena Bocalbos, AGA Hawaii Chapter
“Going to the PDT in Boston opened my eyes to new experiences and new opportunities. It was enlightening to be included in an environment with other associates and attend and participate in sessions that will help me develop my career. It afforded me the opportunity to get new perspectives from others and to discuss and share ideas among many professionals in the government.
I had a wonderful time at the PDT. The opportunities to learn and network were amazing. I can't wait for next year and build on the foundation that was created.” — Courtney Bruce
“PDT was truly an exceptional experience to have in my early career! It offered many great sessions as well as lots of opportunities for networking. I met people whom I’d never meet otherwise and especially benefited from the Young Professional Roundtable, where I got to talk to the public-sector leaders and gained precious career advice. I am so thankful for the YP scholarship and very much appreciate AGA’s investment in government accounting young professionals.” — Sherry Troyer
