Message from the
Chapter President
I am honored to begin my term as your Chapter President, and I am grateful for the trust and support you have placed in me. Our chapter thrives because of the dedication of our volunteer board, committee leaders, and engaged members across the DC community. Together, with the energy of our new board and the momentum built by those who served before us, we are well positioned for an outstanding year ahead.
As we launch this new program year, our focus remains on strengthening member value, deepening engagement, and expanding our reach across the government accountability profession. With your partnership, we will continue to build a vibrant and inclusive community through high quality programming, meaningful networking events, and opportunities to learn, lead, and give back.
This year, our chapter goals are:
- Continued financial stewardship
- Increase member engagement
- Young Professional / Student Outreach
Thank you for being part of the AGA DC Chapter. I look forward to working together and delivering a year that inspires connection, growth, and impact.
Thank you,
Veronica Baird
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.
