The 15th biennial Governmental Professional Development Conference has been historically called the Pacific Emerging Issues Conference (PEIC)/Regional Professional Development Institute (RPDI). This three-day conference has become recognized as one of the best events in the nation and regularly features over forty national, regional and local speakers addressing the latest issues and developments affecting government financial and technology management professionals.
[Note. The Western Intergovernmental Audit Forum (WIAF) conference is on October 12-13, 2009, at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, prior the AGA/ASMC GPDC. >> Visit WIAF site for more information.]
The GPDC will focus on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. There are major challenges related to its increased accountability, transparency, reporting and compliance on federal, state and local governments, and not-for-profit organizations to manage the monies and the ARRA requirements. This conference will be a great source for the knowledge and contacts you need to succeed in today’s constantly changing environment. Hear from top-notch speakers, make new contacts, learn about the latest issues, and discover innovative management techniques. This conference also provides opportunities to network with key government executives and industry experts.
From the practical to the theoretical, sessions will help attendees hone their skills to bring greater efficiency and effectiveness to government operations. Exhibitors will also be available to demonstrate the newest products, services, tools and techniques to help your organization achieve its mission.
