4/1/2015 - John Wrafter – Chapter’s “Founding Father”
It is with deep sorrow to report that John Wrafter, our Chapter’s Founding Father, first Chapter President and Lifetime AGA Member has recently passed away. John was a leader in so many ways, taking charge in October 1977 to establish and charter our chapter with the AGA. A description of our “beginnings” can be found on our website at Chapter Beginnings.
John had a great sense of humor and used it in directing staff at the State Comptroller’s Office and the then Department of Social Services. He would poke fun at his audit staff that would like to use the phrase “we conducted an audit …” in their reports. John would mimic the arm movements of an orchestra conductor to encourage staff to use a better verb than “conduct”. More recently, at the Chapter’s 30th anniversary dinner, John entertained us with a clever piece he entitled, "Born Too Soon"
We honored John several years ago by renaming our most prestigious membership award, the John Wrafter Distinguished Service Award. This award is the Chapter’s highest honor and recognizes outstanding contributions that have had a major impact on Chapter activities. Past recipients generally have had more than one year of significantly active service and most have also previously received the Chapter Service Award (although this is not a prerequisite).
We will miss John and will look back fondly at his contributions to the Chapter, the Accountability Community and his great sense of humor. To read his obituary, you can click here for a pdf version or click here to go to the legacy website.

1/16/2015 - National Leadership Award
State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli Receives National Leadership Award
The Association of Government Accountants (AGA) has selected Honorable Thomas P. DiNapoli, New York State Comptroller, as the recipient of the 2015 William R. Snodgrass Distinguished Leadership Award.
Mr. DiNapoli is scheduled to accept the award at AGA’s National Leadership Conference on February 11, 2015. The AGA presents two prestigious awards at this conference each year to state government professionals. The award Mr. DiNapoli will be receiving is the most prestigious state government award presented by AGA to a professional who embodies the highest personal and professional standards within the field of financial management. The award is named for former Tennessee Comptroller William R. Snodgrass, who served in the office from 1955 to 1999.
Among his accomplishments, Comptroller DiNapoli instituted the most stringent reporting requirements on investments, fees and other information; barred investment firms contributing to his campaign from doing business with the State pension fund; and provided a leading voice in getting the Securities and Exchange Commission to impose tough new rules http://www.osc.state.ny.us/pension/reform.htm on “pay to play” to prevent improper influence on investment decisions.
Comptroller DiNapoli launched a Fiscal Stress Monitoring System to evaluate the fiscal condition of local governments and school districts throughout the state. The introduction of the system enabled those municipalities perceived to be in fiscal distress to receive an early warning. This effort has also enabled Controller DiNapoli to shed light on the challenges of today’s tough economy which have led such communities to face fiscal distress. The Comptroller also consistently advocates for budget and debt reform to give New York State a more secure fiscal future.
Comptroller DiNapoli has identified billions in misuse, waste and savings. He completed a five year school accountability project that audited all 733 school districts and BOCES in the State. In 2012, he launched a series of audits that found widespread abuse of public funds by special education contractors, resulting in several criminal referrals, felony arrests and restitution. During his tenure with the NYS Legislature, he advocated for, sponsored and successfully passed stronger school district accountability laws in response to the scandals that exposed the theft of millions of taxpayer dollars on Long Island.
Comptroller DiNapoli is in good company as winner of this prestigious award. Prior winners of this distinguished award include: Brian Sonntag, Washington State Auditor; Controller Edgar Ross, Kentucky Office of the Comptroller; Controller John Chiang, State of California; Robert Childree, Former State Auditor of Alabama; and Comptroller Peter Franchot, State of Maryland.

1/1/2010 - The Captains Program
The New York Capital Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants is embarking on a new program to help promote the chapter's events to members and nonmembers. This effort will complement our already extensive email, newsletter and website communications in hopes of reaching more people and increasing participation. We believe this program will improve the chapter's delivery of services to members and the government financial community fulfilling our goal of enhancing public financial management. Please consider being integral to the success of this program and become a Captain!
The program is simple. Volunteer members from government agencies and private firms represented in the chapter will be asked to be our marketuing liaisons in their organizations whenever we announce an upcoming event. This can be done by emailing members and nonmembers in their organization who might be interested in attending the event. They could post flyers throughout the organization and possibily on their website. We believe this will maximize awareness of what the chapter has to offer and increase membership.
If you are interested in becoming a Captain, please contact Sigrid Coons, Vice President for Membership at scoons@mail.nysed.gov or (518)473-7674.
We plan to list the Captains on our website to help with this communication and marketing strategy. We will also honor those who prefer not to have their name included on such a list.
