My name is Kyle Smith. I’m excited to officially introduce myself to you as the new President of the AGA Philadelphia Chapter for 2025!

It’s an incredible honor to step into this role and serve alongside such a talented and passionate group of professionals.

As we look ahead, I’m energized by the opportunities we have to grow together as a chapter to share knowledge, build connections, and elevate the important work we do in government financial management. My vision is to create a space where every member feels heard, supported, and inspired to contribute their unique perspective

This year, I’d love for us to focus on:

- Building stronger networks across our community.

- Offering engaging events and resources for professional development.

- Supporting and mentoring the next generation of leaders in our field.

I invite you to share your ideas, hopes, and feedback with me. This chapter belongs to all of us, and your voice matters. Together, we can make the AGA Philadelphia Chapter a model of collaboration, innovation, and excellence. Here's to an exciting year ahead! I can't wait to meet many of you at upcoming events and work side by side to achieve great things.
