CMFO Graduation

MTAS recently graduated its first class from the Certified Municipal Finance Officers program. This two-year program came about when legislation was passed requiring cities to have at least one certified finance officer.

The first graduating class included 97 participants from 86 different cities. The largest city represented was Memphis (population 700,000) and the smallest city represented was Wartburg (population 890).

This program is possible because of our strong partnership with the State Comptroller's Office. Comptroller Justin Wilson made remarks and helped present the certificates. Director of Municipal Audit, Dennis Dycus, served as master of ceremony and MTAS Finance Consultant Dick Phebus made remarks.

Congratulations to the entire MTAS for this important milestone.
