Since 1957, the Oklahoma Municipal Clerks, Treasurers and Finance Officials Association (OMCTFOA) has pro-moted, enhanced and encouraged the professional development and standing of clerks, treasurers and finance officials through cooperative communication, education and training.
I encourage you to become a part of this organization and take part in the many educational and networking opportunities it offers. These include the Spring Institute and Academy Sessions where OMCTFOA offers three scholarships for qualified members and the Fall Conference in October where we offer five scholarships to first time attendees.
I am honored to serve as your 2020 and 2021 OMCTFOA President. You have an outstanding board that has worked extremely hard this year to make this conference extra special. I am so excited we will be able to have an in-person conference this year. I’m very appreciative of OMMS and the training facilitated by their organiza-tion, but there’s nothing like in person training and networking.
The Board is here to serve you and your needs at all times. A list of the current board members is on the web-site so we will be able to help answer any question you might have concerning training or a general questions relating to city business. If I may be of service to you, feel free to call me 405-366-5405 or email me at [email protected]. I hope you enjoy the conference!
