NHMA has developed this free certificate program for municipal officials who want to explore and improve the fiscal operations of their city or town. The certificate program complements the updating of NHMA’s publication, The Basics of Financial Policy, which provides municipal officials with an overview of basic financial policies. The first cohort of municipal officials will begin the new certificate program in September.
The eight-course curriculum covers core topics (see course schedule below).
NHGFOA members will receive GFOA CPE Credits for each session attended.
Once participants finish the program, they should be equipped with the tools and resources to effectively carry out their fiduciary responsibilities and newly-appointed staff in the conduct of their financial duties.
All courses will be held in-person at NHMA’s offices at 25 Triangle Park Drive in Concord. Participants must attend in person as there will be no virtual option available. An overview of courses, dates and times are highlighted below:
