House Joint Resolution 800, sponsored by Representative Crawford, aims to commemorate March 2026 as Certified Government Financial Manager Month in Tennessee. The resolution highlights the contributions of the Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Nashville Chapters of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA), which collectively represent approximately 596 members involved in various levels of government and private-sector financial management. These professionals are recognized for their commitment to advancing government accountability and adhering to high ethical standards as outlined in AGA's Code of Ethics.

The resolution also emphasizes the significance of the Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) program, which ensures that candidates demonstrate professionalism and competency through educational and employment qualifications, adherence to ethical standards, and successful completion of examinations in governmental financial management. Furthermore, CGFM professionals are required to maintain their certification through ongoing education. By commemorating this month, the resolution seeks to honor the impact of the CGFM program on the field of governmental accounting and management in Tennessee.
