This resolution designates March 2025 as "Certified Government Financial Manager Month" in Tennessee, recognizing the contributions of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) and its Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) program. The resolution highlights that the AGA has approximately 13,000 members across 80 chapters, with 611 active members in Tennessee's Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga chapters. It emphasizes the CGFM program's rigorous certification process, which requires candidates to have appropriate educational and employment backgrounds, pass a comprehensive three-part examination covering governmental financial management, and maintain certification by completing 80 hours of continuing professional education every two years. The resolution acknowledges the AGA's mission of "Advancing Government Accountability" and the professional commitment of its members to high standards of conduct, technical expertise, and service to Tennessee's citizens.
