Welcome to AGA Portland Chapter!

Dear Members,

 

Welcome to the Portland Chapter of Association of Government Accountants’ (AGA) website. Here, you will find up-to-date information about the Chapter and our activities throughout the year.

 

The AGA Portland Chapter is a professional organization that supports the careers and professional development of government finance professionals working in federal, state and local governments as well as the private sector and academia. Our members are offered opportunities to attend educational conferences, participate in community service activities, all while networking with other members from various areas of the profession.

 

Our Chapter has scheduled monthly meetings in the Portland area. The schedule of meetings can be found on our website, along the location of each event. Most months, we meet during lunch hour; however, we also hold after work meetings. Members are welcome to attend these meetings to discuss Chapter activities.

Our education plan offers free courses for our members to earn CPE credit. In addition to our annual spring conference, we have audio conferences scheduled every month. These conferences are free to members and cost $20 for nonmembers. The monthly audio conference offers an opportunity for members to hear from industry leaders, obtain CPE credit, and network with other AGA members.

We also carry the tradition of supporting various charitable organizations every year. This year's list of organizations that we support include: Operation Christmas Child, Oregon Food Bank, Portland Marathon, and others.

 

This year, my primary focus is to increase member participation in Chapter activities by improving communication methods and encouraging member feedback.

 

Thank you for visiting the AGA Portland Chapter website.

 

Rosa Nguyen, Chapter President
