[CAFR-Contacts-News] FW: Forum for Future Accounting Leaders - November 19, 2019

[HAMILTON Robert W * DAS]

Forwarded on behalf of the Financial Leadership Council. If you're interested in attending, please contact Beth Brown at beth.m.brown at dhsoha.state.or.us<mailto:beth.m.brown at dhsoha.state.or.us>.


Are you an Accounting Technician or an Accountant 1, 2 or 3 with aspirations to one day become an Accountant 4 or an Accounting Manager? If so, you're invited to the fourth Forum for Future Accounting Leaders, which will be held Tuesday, November 19th at the Department of Forestry (2600 State Street in Salem), Tillamook Room, Building C - Admin Building, from 9 am - 11 am!

The intent of the Forum for Future Accounting Leaders is to pass along knowledge from the current accounting leaders in state government to those of the future. This is an informal gathering in which attendees will be encouraged to ask a rotating panel of 4 to 5 current Accountant 4s or Accounting Managers about the processes they go through in their jobs. This will also be a great chance to network with your peers as well as the panelists. If you come up with questions before the Forum, I would really appreciate you sending them to me so I can share them with the panel. However, asking questions that arise during the Forum will also be encouraged.

The topic for this Forum of Future Accounting Leaders is about the role Treasury plays and the services Treasury provides in partnering with and supporting state agencies.  As with all Forums, if you have interest in other topics, you are welcome to ask questions about those too.

While I will facilitate, the panelists are:

  *   Cora Parker, Treasury
  *   Additional Treasury staff

If you are interested in attending, please be sure to obtain approval from your manager. Due to concerns about room capacity, we may need to limit attendees by state agency, however, we will have a call in option for those that are not able to attend in person. If you wish to be part of this Forum, either attending or calling in, please send me an email (beth.m.brown at dhsoha.state.or.us<mailto:beth.m.brown at dhsoha.state.or.us>) by Monday, November 18th.

This is the fourth of what is intended to be an ongoing offering of the Financial Leadership Council (FLC), a consortium of state agency financial leaders in the accounting field. Meetings will occur every other month, on the last Tuesday of the month. Our hope is that people will be able to join us in person, but as noted earlier, a call in option will be available for those who are not able to.

If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to me. I would really appreciate any feedback.

We hope you find this valuable, and again, if any questions come to mind for the panelists before the Forum, please send them to me.

Thanks and I look forward to seeing everyone,

Beth Brown
