The AGA New York Capital Chapter will assist the Capital City Rescue Mission in preparing and serving a meal for Downtown Albany's homeless.  The Rescue Mission provides three hot meals a day as well as shelter to homeless and needy families. The mission always needs volunteers to provide this valuable service to the Capital District.  The mission provides the food, while we are there to primarily serve it.

The New York State Internal Control Association (NYSICA) is teaming up with the New York State Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) and the New York Capital Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) to present this professional development event.

This exciting half-day seminar will bring together some of the most well-respected names in state and federal government to report what is new and what is next for New York State's Internal Control program.

The event will provide attendees with a host of how-to information geared toward advancing the skill set of all internal control and internal audit practitioners statewide.

Topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to, the impact of the Federal Recovery Act on agency internal control programs large and small across New York State (even those not currently receiving funds), and how to establish and/or enhance a fraud detection program at your agency - a hallmark of New York's ongoing internal control efforts.

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 educational and other 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 so that the chapter can continue to grow and prosper.

The program is simple. Volunteer members from government agencies and private firms represented in the chapter will be asked to be our marketing 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 possibly 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.
