Overview
Advanced Institute is designed to provide members with credentials like the MiCPT, the CPFA, and the ACPFA an opportunity to further investigate topics in order to challenge themselves and expand their understanding of public treasury. Topics are often advanced and will include both on-the-job skills as well as a deeper look at developing interpersonal, leadership and management skills necessary to run a successful treasury office. There is a heavy emphasis on peer learning and networking to ensure attendees develop professional resources. Download a printable pdf of the info sheet above by clicking on the image.

Schedule
The 2024 Advanced Institute will be Wednesday, May 8 - Friday, May 10 at the Double Tree Riverside in Bay City. Please note that this year's conference schedule is different from recent years: sessions start Wednesday morning and conclude Friday at noon. We will celebrate our Past Presidents during dinner on Wednesday evening; attendees are 'on their own' for dinner on Thursday and lunch on Friday. 

Attendance
All attendees are responsible for tracking the sessions they attend; a point tally sheet will be provided to assist you. Attendance is only in-person; there is no livestreaming option. The MMTA Board of Directors has committed to having both Basic and Advanced Institute as an in-person conference to ensure learning from both presenters and through networking with other attendees.

Past President Reception
Wednesday evening, May 8, will be a celebration of MMTA's Past Presidents. Dinner will be provided for all attendees and any Past Presidents who are able to attend. We look forward to recognizing those individuals who have worked tirelessly over the years to encourage and grow MMTA into the resource that it is today.
