Fiscally Ready Communities webinar explores ‘Communicating Fiscal Risk and Prudent Decision-making’

Register today for the state Department of Treasury’s next Fiscally Ready Communities webinar, “Communicating Fiscal Risk and Prudent Decision-making,” on Sept. 21 at 10 a.m. Local governments often face a dual challenge of both making hard budget decisions and then sharing those decisions out. Communities may also have to have hard conversations and decisions about the fiscal risks they face. The free two-hour session is designed to assist appointed and elected officials communicate their financial position, evaluate the risks they face and establish processes to help with hard decisions, and engage the public and decision-makers throughout the process. Questions can be submitted in advance to TreasLocalGov@michigan.gov, with the subject line “Fiscally Ready.”
