From Chapter President Alex Dickey:

As we head into February with current economic conditions and budget tightening, the Montgomery/Prince George’s AGA Chapter continues to support our profession with great educational and networking opportunities. We had a fantastic turnout at our January dinner meeting. David Lucas, Chief Strategy Officer for Global Computer Enterprises provided information on “Cloud Computing”. We also had our two monthly Audio Conferences dealing with internal controls and organization performance.

For February, our chapter will be holding our second joint chapter dinner meeting with the Northern Virginia (NOVA) AGA chapter. Please come out and join us on Wednesday, February 8th at the Rockville Hilton. Our guest speaker will be Mark Reger, Deputy Assistant Secretary, U.S. Treasury. It should be a great event!

Our early career directors are also sponsoring social events both for our February joint dinner meeting and the upcoming February AGA National Leadership Conference. As well, they are also sponsoring a Wizards Basketball event on February 29. Lastly, if your interested in getting certified with the CGFM license, please take a look at our upcoming study sessions. Our chapter will be providing study groups to aid in the preparation for the CGFM exams. As well, our chapter will continue to sponsor our bi-monthly audio conferences.
