AGA Silicon
Valley Chapter provides quality continuing professional education (CPE)
opportunities as a service to its members and to the government
accountability profession. This is accomplished, in part, by the
monthly professional development meeting, which is generally held every
third Thursday of the month. The professional development meeting
provides opportunities for professional development, facilitates the
exchange of ideas; promotes quality financial management; and brings people
together who are in the field of government finance and other accountability
professions. In addition, those attending enjoy good lunch and
generally an hour instruction of general interest to government accountants,
auditors, analysts, senior financial managers and executives, and other
finance professionals.
Meeting
participants come from federal, city, county, and local agency with
different specialties, such as accounting, auditing, financial and budget
analysis, contract management, and financial management.
In addition to the monthly meetings, the Chapter organizes and presents full
day or multi-day training seminars. AGA National also offers online
training and professional development conferences -
