Welcome to March—We are once again celebrating “March is CGFM Month”!!!! This is the 30th anniversary of the Certified Government Financial Manager credential. We have included signed proclamations denoting this special month by Governor Tony Evers and Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway.

Registrations are open for the AGA Spring Symposium! Sign up today and mark your calendar… We were able to hold the 2024 registration fee to the same price as last year even with Union South price increases. I hope you can join us for a day of learning and networking! We have not finalized the full agenda yet, but we are close. Confirmed topics are Enterprise Resource Management, Fraud Detection and Prevention, How Bonding Affects Your Life (Government Debt Funding). More information will be sent as the speaker biographies and session information is available. You can visit our website to register and to see any updates (www.aga-wis.org).

There are two free CPE opportunities posted on the AGA National website (https://www.agacgfm.org/Training/Webinars.aspx). April 17 is a CPAG Wake-Up Wednesday Coffee Chat for 1 CPE. The next free Members Only Webinar is May 15 for 1.5 CPE.

Just a short newsletter this month.

Of immediate interest: There is still time to sign up for the AGA National Members Only webinar on Wednesday!!!! Free to Members!!!

Setting a Clear Vision for Your Team: Lessons from an Olympic Athlete turned Executive
February 14 | 2:00–3:15 PM ET | 1.5 CPEs | FOS: PD
https://www.agacgfm.org/Training/Webinars/2023-2024-Webinars/Members-Only-3.aspx

We are actively working on getting the Symposium schedule in place. Hold the date!
Wednesday, May 8, at Union South. Once this schedule is done, we will get some webinars set up.

It is membership renewal season. They now offer the opportunity to sign up for recurring billing so you don’t have to remember each spring (but they will send an email ahead to remind you it is coming). Please consider checking your information on-line. There are a number of people with outdated addresses (email and physical). Keeping your email current ensures you are receiving all the notifications for members only events and chapter events.
