Welcome to the Tennessee Government Finance Officers’ Association (TGFOA). It is truly an honor to serve as your President for 2026. TGFOA is more than a professional organization—it is a community of public servants committed to excellence, integrity, and responsible stewardship of public resources across Tennessee.
Our association has a long-standing reputation for supporting those entrusted with managing taxpayer dollars through high-quality education, collaboration, and ethical leadership. In a time of evolving financial challenges and increasing public expectations, TGFOA remains a trusted resource for finance professionals at every stage of their careers.
As we look ahead, may we continue to focus on strengthening member engagement, expanding professional development opportunities, and encouraging collaboration across all levels of government. Whether you are new to the profession or a seasoned finance officer, TGFOA exists to support you and to help strengthen the communities we serve.
I am grateful for the leadership of our Board, committees, sponsors, and volunteers whose dedication makes this association strong. I encourage each of you to stay involved, share your expertise, and take advantage of the many opportunities TGFOA offers.
I look forward to working alongside you in the year ahead.
Best regards,
William E. “Billy” Daugherty
TGFOA President, 2026
