(September 24, 2009 Stillwater, OK) – Municipal clerks, treasurers and finance officials
are invited to attend the Oklahoma Municipal Clerks, Treasurers and Finance Officials
Association (OMCTFOA) annual conference to be held Oct. 20-23, 2009, in Stillwater,

The conference is designed to help participants be successful as they serve their
town or city. Topics include the statewide water plan, identity theft, tax collections
and fund management, and handling of audited financial statements. Municipal clerks,
treasurers and finance officials can gain credit toward earning certification in the
national accrediting agency by attending conference sessions.

speaker. Additional speakers include Duane Smith, executive director of Oklahoma Water
Resources Board; Anita Breen, director of human resources for the City of Edmond;
Special Agent Lori Bynum of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Scott Meacham, Oklahoma
State Treasurer; and Marcy Twyman, certified public accountant with Crawford and Associates.
A new format for 2009 features a four-hour pre-conference workshop with Tim Rider.
This workshop about successful communications, plus one other four-hour session about
creating a positive workforce, have been authorized to count toward national certification.
All sessions will be held in the conference facilities of the Student Union at Oklahoma
State University in Stillwater. More than 100 people are expected to attend.
