GC Treasurer Scott German took continuing education courses in Nevada to stay on the cutting edge
Scott D. German, treasurer of Genesee County, recently attended the annual meeting of the National Association of County Collectors, Treasurers and Finance Officers (NACCTFO) in Clark County, Nev., on July 10th and 11th.
The meeting includes continuing education courses in policy and management offered by the Graduate Program in Public Administration at Wayne State University.
“County collectors, treasurers, and finance officers must constantly upgrade practices in their offices in order to best serve the needs of the public,” said Kyu-Nahm Jun, director of the Public Administration at Wayne State.
“The certification program provides the opportunity to learn from nationally recognized faculty, and to share information with colleagues from across the nation. This prepares them to serve the public more effectively.”
Session topics included talent retention, revenue recovery, and trends in county government organization. Participants also engaged in an information sharing session where they shared best practices with their peers.
“By participating in the program, German reflected his desire to keep his county on the cutting edge of public service,” Jun said.
