Candidates are certified after accumulating one hundred continuing education credits. Certification typically takes a minimum of three years to complete and requires attendance at educational workshops, seminars, classes, and lectures.
To maintain their certification, candidates must complete an additional sixty hours of continuing education within four years.
Frances A. Foster, CGT, has successfully completed these additional requirements and has been awarded re-certification by the University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service.
The certification program was designed to advance the professionalism of local officials in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Local government requires special skills, knowledge, and a high level of professional competence.
The certification program articulates professional standards and regulations and ensures that local officials maintain those standards. Educational programs keep local officials current on new technologies, legislative changes, and constituency relations.
Additional information about the certification is available from Albert W. Spengler, Program Administrator, at the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, (804) 982-5518.
Ms. Foster is a native of Rappahannock County and has served as Treasurer since 1973.
