Press release:
Scott German, Genesee County treasurer, recently attended the annual meeting of the National Association of County Collectors, Treasurers and Finance Officers (NACCTFO) in Charlotte, N.C., on July 8th and 9th, completing professional certification coursework in public policy administration.
The conference included education courses in policy and management, offered by the Public Policy Administration program at the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) as part of their Chancellor’s Certificate program and in partnership with NACCTFO.
“Our Chancellor’s certificate program allows NACCTFO members to learn about cutting-edge practices, and share their experiences,” said Deborah Balser, Ph.D., associate professor, and director of the Public Policy Administration program at UMSL. “Members come away from these sessions with valuable ideas to implement in their own office.”
The coursework included short-term investing, diversity in the workplace, evaluating employees, and courthouse security. German’s participation in these sessions demonstrates his commitment to carefully manage scarce county resources, Balser said.
