Click Here to Download the CCR 2022-2023 Report

The Association of Government Accountants (AGA) is a national organization whose primary focus is on advancing government accountability and thought leadership. The AGA serves its members by fostering learning, certification, leadership and collaboration with other professionals and stakeholders to advance their own professional development as they advance government accountability. It supports the careers of government accountability professionals working in federal, state and local governments, as well as those in the private sector and academia. With a national office, over 90 chapters, and about 14,000 members across the U.S. and worldwide, the AGA focuses on government accountability and is the conduit that brings together people who often wouldn’t ordinarily have access to each other.

The Albany Chapter was chartered by the AGA in October 1977 and is based in Albany, the capital of New York State. The Chapter’s focus is also on advancing government accountability and offering outstanding educational events, networking opportunities, certification pathways and community service activities. The Chapter has won many national awards for its programs and services and is considered one of the top chapters in the AGA.

The Chapter is governed by a group of 23 members who comprise the Chapter Executive Committee (CEC), and is assisted by many other members who participate on several active committees that help support the Chapter. The CEC meets monthly to discuss how they can best serve the membership, government accountability profession and the community. The Chapter boasts an outstanding website, a reestablished newsletter and a social media presence, perennial winners of AGA national awards, along with annual recognition for having the best educational program and community service events.
