Event Description
This seminar will explore how to keep your employees engaged, the importance of developing a Succession Plan for positions in your organization, and identify tips on how to bring both new and old board/council members “on board” with the understanding of the importance of finance in the oversight of your government. The intended audience is Finance Directors, Assistant Finance Directors, Managers, and Supervisors.
Sessions Include
Employee Engagement - The Missing Link
Dave Goranson, President/Founder of Goranson Consulting, Inc
A fast moving, comprehensive training session on the one factor that can make or break any organization….and their bottom line. Through videos, learning exercises, lecture and discussion this session will immediately give you some ideas you can take back to the workplace and use.
Succession Planning
Michael J. Earl, Senior Vice President, GovHR USA
We have all heard about Succession Planning but what is it and do I really need one? This session explores reasons to consider a Succession Plan for positions in your organization, discusses the key elements of a Succession Plan and the different approaches to consider when developing a practical and meaningful Succession Plan.
All Aboard! How to Communicate With New Board/Council Members About Finance
Michael Malatt, CPA, Senior Manager at Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP
A major responsibility for every finance director is to report data and communicate financial matters to the governing body on a regular basis. However, boards and councils are comprised of individuals from many walks of life, mostly non-financial. How do you communicate such information in a digestible and understandable manner to non-financial individuals? How do you express the importance of the Finance Department and the role you and your team plays in the organization? In this session, we will discuss tips on how to bring both new and old board/council members “on board” with the understanding of the importance of finance in the oversight of your government.
The day also includes a Networking Luncheon and tour of the Peoria Riverfront Museum.
