Senate Joint Resolution 80, sponsored by Senator Roberts, proposes to designate March 2025 as "Certified Government Financial Manager Month" in Tennessee. This resolution acknowledges the contributions of the Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga Chapters of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA), which collectively represent approximately 611 professionals in the fields of accounting, auditing, and financial management across various sectors. The AGA's mission focuses on advancing government accountability, and its members have demonstrated a commitment to high standards of conduct and ongoing professional development.

The resolution highlights the significance of the Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) program, which ensures that professionals in governmental financial management meet rigorous educational and ethical standards. To maintain their certification, CGFM professionals must complete continuing education requirements every two years. By designating March 2025 as "Certified Government Financial Manager Month," the resolution aims to honor the impact of the CGFM program on the profession and its role in enhancing the quality of governmental accounting and management in Tennessee.
