Presidents

I am excited
about serving as
your President
for 2008-2009
and am looking
forward to a
great year. It
is an incredible
honor to be a
part of this
organization.
My first
experience with CMTA was
attending the
beginning
education
workshop many
years ago.
Since that first
workshop, I have
learned so much
through CMTA
that has helped
me to develop
professionally
and become
successful in my
career. |
However, it is
the members that
I have gotten to
know over the
years that make
this
organization
what it is.
Your
participation on
all levels,
whether
attending
workshops and
conferences;
volunteering to
serve on the
division,
committee or
Board level, or
providing
expertise as a
commercial
associate
provides for
shared
experience,
knowledge and
support that no
one of us could
ever have
achieve alone.
This year’s
conference in
Long Beach was
the largest and
one of the best
ever!
Respondents to
the conference
evaluations
overwhelmingly
rated the
program as
excellent, with
Jack Canfield,
author of the
Chicken Soup for
the Soul book
series, as the
favorite
speaker.
A recurring
theme that was
present in
several of the
sessions was how
demographics are
affecting public
agencies as the
Baby Boom
generation
transitions into
retirement. As
we begin to
think about
passing the
baton, providing
education is
important not
only in
strengthening
skills and
knowledge, but
also in building
professional
relationships
that can help to
retain our best
employees and
attract others
to want to work
in our
organizations.
CMTA’s mission
is to protect
the fiscal
integrity of its
member agencies
and treasury
professionals by
promoting the
professional
advancement and
alliance of
public agency
Treasurers
through
education and
legislative
activism.

website
“CMTA.org”
regularly for
more information
on upcoming
division
meetings,
education
workshops and
resources.
