The Government Treasurers' Organization
of Texas (GTOT) is a state association which was formed
in 1987. Its primary purpose is to promote the educational
and professional development of persons who perform
the treasury function in governmental organizations
and to play a key role in the enactment of legislation
in the area of cash and debt management.
GTOT’s programs and services, which
are beneficial to all treasury professionals, include
the following:
GTOT has standing committees that implement
the goals and objectives set by the Board of Directors.
These committees are the backbone of the organization
and include: Nominating, Newsletter, Seminar/Education,
Legislative, Investment Policy Review, Sponsorship,
and Membership.
Active members of GTOT work
for cities, school districts, special districts, counties,
and the State of Texas. This diversity, which is reflected
by the composition of the Board of Directors, helps
bring together all governmental entities that share
common interests in the field of treasury management.
Representatives from private sector organizations are
also included in the membership as Associate
members. Both are individual, calendar-year memberships
and are not transferable. Dues are billed each January.
GTOT is an affiliate of the Association
of Public Treasurers of the United States and Canada,
headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, which offers
similar support to governmental treasurers at the national
level.
A key element to the success of GTOT
has been the network developed for the sharing of information
and ideas. Through educational seminars, active committee
involvement, and the aid of this directory, members
have access to a strong treasury network.
