Message from the

Chapter President

Hello DC Chapter Members,

I am grateful for all the support and trust you are putting in me this year. It will be no easy feat, but I have an amazing board and team of volunteers to support me in making sure this is a great year for our members.

As we have begun this program year, we’re excited to continue building a strong, inclusive, and engaged community of government accountability professionals. This year, the AGA DC Chapter is placing a renewed focus on membership—strengthening our foundation and expanding our reach. In response to the evolving federal landscape and recent workforce shifts, our Membership Committee is launching a strategic refresh of our initiatives.

We are committed to:

  • Connecting new members with valuable Chapter offerings, including networking events and CGFM certification resources
  • Expanding our outreach to include professionals from state and local governments, broadening our community and impact
  • Enhancing member retention through personalized engagement—welcome emails, event incentives, and tailored resources
  • Boosting participation with exciting new programs, including monthly new member raffles at luncheons and quarterly referral prizes for our most active ambassadors.

We encourage all members to refer friends, coworkers, and colleagues to join AGA. When your referral signs up as a new member (pro-rated starting in August), they can enter your name in the referral field. Each referral gives you a chance to win a $100 prize in our quarterly drawing!

We have ambitious yet achievable goals, including increasing overall membership by 10%, growing our Young Professional and Student membership by 10%, and retaining 98% of our current members.

If you have ideas on how we can achieve these goals, we would love to hear them! Please reach out to Giovanni Leon (giovannileon@KPMG.com) or me (cwolf@akela-llc.com) with any suggestions or questions regarding membership.

With your continued support and enthusiasm, we are confident that the 2025–2026 year will be one of growth, connection, and shared success.

Our History

The First Chapter! What a remarkable journey it has been since that September day in 1950 when Mr. Robert King gathered a small group of federal accountants and began the Federal Government Accountants Association (FGAA). The FGAA later expanded to include state and local government finance professionals and changed its name to the Association of Government Accountants (AGA).

We are proud of the Association that we have built together, with a rich history of promoting government financial management excellence while enhancing the careers of our members.
