Regional Vice President's Message
June 30, 2010
Dear AGA California Chapter Presidents,
Regional Coordinators, and chapter members:
It has been an exciting year. I had tremendous and fun experience
– learning on what other chapters do and networking with chapter
leaders. Communication is important to connect with every AGA
Chapter in our region and I am glad we had many successes. I was
able to visit two chapters (LA Civic Center and Inland Empire) and
had the opportunity to speak at their April 2010 Professional
Development Meeting. Our chapters in the region accomplished so
much for their members. California Chapters participated in the
AGA Chapter Recognition Program and I would like to extend my
congratulations to the six chapters below for earning the award and
exceeding their program goals:
Gold Chapter Level Award
Inland Empire of CA Chapter – Sue Maxinoski, CGFM, President
Los Angeles Civic Center Chapter –Victoria Santiago, President
Silicon Valley Chapter –Grace Ragni, CGFM, CPA, President
Silver Chapter Level Award
Los Angeles Chapter – Luke Baey, CPA, President
Met Program Goals
Central Coast Chapter - Nerahoo Hemraj, CGFM, President
Sacramento Chapter - Denise Callahan, MPA, President
I also would like to congratulate the three California Chapters below
for winning the AGA Newsletter Competition Award:
Inland Empire Chapter - 1st Place Newsletter Award
(Group B, 22 chapters competing)
Silicon Valley Chapter - 1st Place Newsletter Award
(Group E, 29 chapters competing)
LA Civic Center Chapter - Honorable Mention Newsletter Award
(Group C, 17 chapters competing)
AGA National President Billy Morehead, Ph.D., CGFM, CPA, and
Robert Bond, CGFM, Senior Vice President for Chapter Services,
presented the above awards to the Chapter President or
representative at the 59th Annual Professional Development
Conference (PDC) in Orlando, Florida at the Breakfast Awards
Ceremony on July 14, 2010.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each one
of you for your support, for all your hard work, and for
your service to your AGA Chapters. We all have increased
the bar in promoting advance government accountability
in our California Region. Because of these, I had the
opportunity to receive the Regional Vice President Award –
Platinum Level at the Orlando PDC Luncheon and Awards
Ceremony on July 13, 2010 from our AGA National
President Billy Morehead, Ph.D., CGFM, CPA.
I also would like to extend my thanks to Robert Bond, CGFM,
Senior Vice President for Regional Services, for his support
throughout the year and to Jessica Jones of AGA National
Office for responding to all our requests.
Lastly, I thank my wife, Gloria, and my children for supporting
me.
It’s an honor to serve you and AGA as your Regional Vice President.
