President’s Message
Sherri Voigt, CGFM, CPA
Welcome to the 2018 Southern Wisconsin Association of Government Accountants program year!
We have lunch meetings scheduled for September and October. We will be filling in some audio conference dates to increase the number of CPE we can offer. We are using the feedback from the May training event to search out topics and speakers that were included in the comments. If you have any ideas that you have seen recently, please feel free to contact Education Chair Mary Laufenberg at [email protected].
We are looking at some community service events that have a social component so people can get to know their government accountability peers. If you have ideas that would work for small groups, please send them in.
Take a look at the calendar of events and see what sessions you might be able to attend. We look forward to seeing you over the program year!
