This special one and a half hour CSMFO interactive webinar will help you and your team:
- Learn how sound fiscal policies will help your agency through good times and bad.
- Develop clear objectives and a solid framework for your fiscal policies.

Post-Call Group Discussions
Many agencies are organizing groups to listen to the calls (live or recorded) and discuss the topics among themselves after the calls. Some are summarizing their discussions and distributing them to managers throughout their organizations. Use the CSMFO Coaching Program as an effective way to enhance professional development in your agency. Here are some discussion starters for this session:
- What's the status of our agency's fiscal policies?
- Where does our agency need to make some improvements?
- What are some models that we'd like to adopt or modify?
- How can we communicate this effectively to our staff, elected officials, and the public?
