Access Equity Network (AEN)

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force was rebranded to Access Equity Network (AEN). 

AEN will focus on four key areas:

• Students: Inspiring careers in Public Finance
• Municipal Finance Professionals: Cross-municipality shadowing opportunities
• Training: Decide, Decode & Deliver – providing training sessions for municipalities
• Recognition: Introducing the Access & Equity in Practice Award to honor those advancing access and equity at a municipality
