AGA San Antonio

AGA was founded as the Federal Government Accountants Association (FGAA) by a group of federal government accountants in 1950. In 1975, the organization expanded to include state and local government finance professionals, changing its name to the Association of Government Accountants (AGA). In 2022, the organization's name was changed simply to AGA, to demonstrate its broader impact and further expand its reach to connect and empower financial related professionals who support government, from financial management to IT, human resources, cybersecurity and more, enabling it to advance good government initiatives, grow their expertise and accelerate their careers. In this respect, AGA can be said to:

• Advance sound financial practices, accountability, transparency and excellence in government

• Grow, learn, excel and engage through a network of likeminded professionals and leaders

• Accelerate professional careers through learning opportunities and the opportunity to earn a unique credential - the Certified Government Financial Manager, the only credential developed solely with the government financial professional in mind.

Nationally, our members are primarily from State, Local and Tribal Governments. The remainder are from the Federal Government, the Private Sector, and Higher Education, Non-Profits, Students, & Retirees.
