People need to be able to believe what they hear about their government and its finances. They need to be confident that local leaders have the community’s best interest at heart and that finance professionals are effective stewards of public funds. They also need to trust that the government can transform their hard-earned resources into something of value. At this session, you will hear real-life stories from finance professionals and how they've won (or lost) trust through their careers. Speakers will provide tips for attendees to assess their own level of trust and practical strategies for beginning to work on building trust both internally and externally.
