A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
The Oklahoma Municipal Clerks, Treasurers and Finance Officials Association (OMCTFOA) has promoted, enhanced and encouraged the professional development and standing of clerks, treasurers and finance officials through cooperative communication, education and training since 1957.
Many seminars, training courses and workshops offer valuable information to the clerks and treasurers across the state. You can find many of these listed on our website under the events tab or in the OMCTFOA newsletter. Experience and Education are both extremely important in acquiring certification designations at a national level, so be sure to join us in our many endeavors.
I encourage you and your colleagues to become active members of this organization and take part in the many educational and networking opportunities offered. OMCTFOA hosts a fall conference each year. The 68th conference will tentatively take place in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. There will be five first-time attendee scholarships offered. Scholarship applications for the fall conference are due by August 1, 2025. OMCTFOA also offers three scholarships to the spring Institute and Academy training which is held in Stillwater, OK and one scholarship to a national conference of your choice (IIMC, APT US&C or GFOA). Scholarship applications for these training opportunities are due by January 1 of each year. If you are new in your position, please understand there are a lot of individuals with many years of experience that will assist you and help you to be successful. Please feel to reach out and get plugged into the networking opportunities that are available to all members.
I am so excited to serve as your 2025 OMCTFOA President. As the new President of OMCTFOA, I am excited to work alongside our dedicated Board of volunteer members. The Board is comprised of members who share a love for our jobs and a vision of growth and development for our Organization. I will strive to use my leadership and communication skills to advocate for all the opportunities available to our members. We are here to always serve you and your needs, so please do not hesitate to reach out to any of our board members. A list of the current board members will be on the website at www.omctfoa.com. Please email info@omctfoa.com for additional information, concerns or suggestions you may have.
