We are honored to share in your mission to build vibrant, sustainable and equitable communities across Minnesota. Yet fulfilling that mission isn't just about public finance solutions - these are only the fundamentals of our work. It's about people pulling together to create smart plans, build community consensus and share in the hard work that helps bring generational projects to life. This year, we're offering three pre-conference workshops that cover the basics of municipal finance – ideal for new staff or a refresher. Beginning Thursday afternoon, two learning tracks will bring finance, TIF and development concepts to life with real-life stories and case studies. Plus, Gary Carlson and his colleagues will join us to provide the latest updates from the Minnesota State Legislature, and career coach Lisa Hayes will offer practical tools on communicating in contentious situations with governing boards and members of the public.

Six one-hour virtual core curriculum sessions designed specifically for those new to government finance. Also a great refresher for all local government finance professionals.

Our Virtual Core Curriculum is a six part virtual series for MN local government finance professionals.

We are so proud to share in your mission to build vibrant, sustainable and equitable communities across Minnesota. Yet fulfilling that mission isn't just about public finance solutions - these are only the fundamentals of our work. It's about people pulling together to create smart plans, build community consensus and share in the hard work that helps bring generational projects to life. This year, we've narrowed our curriculum to two learning tracks - Tax Increment Financing and Development & Financing - and placed a considerable focus on real-life stories and case studies. Plus, Gary Carlson will join us again to provide the latest updates from the Minnesota State Legislature, and former Brooklyn Center City Manager Curt Boganey will deliver a compelling keynote address on leadership during crisis.

From developing prudent investment policies and strategies to implementing best practices for managing banking relationships, this series will give you the tools you need to make the most of your community's funds.
