FRIDAY, MAY 195 2017 (continued) THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP, TECHNOLOGY, AND FINANCE IN A RESILIENT GOVERNMENT 1:00 p.m. -5:00 p.m. The concept of`resiliency" has captured the attention of governments in recent years, and with that experience,finance officers have learned about what it means for their governments to be resilient and how to achieve resiliency. In this seminar, participants will learn from the experiences of other governments about their resiliency journeys and how they have used technology along the way. Structured around the seven characteristics of resiliency—recognizing risk, exercising foresight, being robust, being adaptable, looking deeper, building connections, and being flexible—this session will highlight the role of leaders in implementing resilient practices, focusing on those related to technology and financial processes throughout the organization. SATURDAY, MAY 20, 2017 BUILDING YOUR PROFESSIONAL NETWORK 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Building a professional network is a great way to expand your knowledge base, stay current with industry trends and in touch with colleagues, share lessons learned, leverage specific expertise when necessary, raise your professional profile both in and out of your organization, and provide opportunities for career growth. Facebook, Linkedln,Twitter, and many other social networking sites have made identifying "a network" much easier. However, building and maintaining that network and investing in it so that it can be useful are challenges for many finance officers.This seminar will provide strategies that all finance officers can implement to make useful connections and get the most out of social networking, as well as explore some other less common places for developing effective professional relationships. In addition, speakers will discuss how to successfully use your network and relationships to help accomplish goals within your organization and in your career. COST, RISK, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE: MANAGING AN EFFECTIVE REVENUE COLLECTION FUNCTION 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Finance officers are faced with many difficult decisions in establishing and managing a government revenue collection function. Governments need to balance the need for process efficiency, strong internal controls, new technology, and citizen expectations. This seminar will feature several case studies from governments that have successfully implemented a modern revenue collection function, taking advantage of innovations in technology and banking services, while maintaining effective internal controls and mitigating risks. Speakers will discuss opportunities for centralized collections, better integration from across the organization within a financial system, and acceptable payment options.
