Public Sector Chief Financial Officer Forum
Featured Speaker: Lea B. Vaughn, Professor of Law
June 29, 2012
The opportunities for the finance officer to engage in organizational leadership bring new challenges and demands an expanding skill set. Continuing professional education in public financial management tends to focus on technical, day-to-day issues and not on these strategic concerns. Today's challenges for public sector finance leaders create an opportunity to provide leadership to our organizations and communities beyond technical issues.
This roundtable will fill a critical need for executive-level professional development by creating a platform for public sector chief financial officers to exchange innovative practices and network with their peers.
Topic: HR Policies to Protect the Bottom Line
Location: Parrington Hall, UW, Seattle
This session brings the public sector finance director and HR director to the table to discuss the real costs behind governments' largest expenditure...personnel. The forum will help finance directors and HR staff better understand the costs and benefits of making policies and changing practices in certain evolving areas of public sector HR. Get practical advice - from a legal standpoint - on how to craft those types of policies and practices and how to get HR and finance staff thinking proactively about these issues. The session may also dive into other topics where the finance and HR worlds collide, such as translation of payroll policies, costing labor contracts, collaborative budgeting.
This course is hosted by the Evans School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington.
