Governmental Conference Planning Task Force

The Governmental Accounting and Auditing Conference Committee is dedicated to organizing an exceptional and highly impactful annual conference tailored specifically for Montana CPAs working in the governmental accounting and auditing sectors. Our mission is to create a "must-see" event that delivers valuable insights, fosters professional growth, and promotes best practices in the field.

Our primary goal is to design and deliver a conference that meets the evolving needs and interests of governmental accountants and auditors in Montana. We aim to provide a platform for learning, networking, and professional development through thoughtfully curated sessions, discussions, and speaker engagements.

Committee members will play a crucial role in shaping the conference by contributing their ideas, expertise, and influence. Responsibilities include:

• Topic and Speaker Selection: Identify and select relevant and timely topics that address the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in governmental accounting and auditing. Choose knowledgeable and engaging speakers who can provide valuable insights and practical guidance.
• Roundtable Discussions: Organize and select topics for roundtable discussions that encourage interactive and in-depth dialogue among attendees. Identify and invite speakers who can facilitate these discussions effectively.
• Speaker Introduction: Introduce speakers at the conference, providing a brief overview of their background and the topics they will cover.
• Course Administration: Serve as the course administrator during the conference, particularly when the event is held outside Helena. This includes coordinating logistics, managing attendee registrations, and ensuring all sessions run smoothly.
