Treasurer Toolkit 

This exciting series of educational opportunities provides basic topics throughout the year. Sessions are online using Zoom meetings to allow for an interactive session for attendees, who will be able to ask questions and participate in the chat with other attendees and the instructor. 

Topics are great introductions for newer treasury professionals but can also serve as a timely refresher for members who have been in their roles for awhile - we can always learn more! If you have your MiCPT, each session is worth one point of continuing education towards your renewal.

Single sessions of the Treasurer Toolkit cost $69 per session per attendee. The Toolkit Combo includes all three sessions for the year and costs $199. If you register for the Combo, you will receive an email prior to each session with the link - you do not need to register for each individual session.

All sessions will be recorded and available for viewing if you have a conflict or just want to re-watch a portion of the session. Recordings are available about one week after the session. Links are sent to everyone who registered for a session; if you need the link, contact our association managers at [email protected].

Note: if you are a MMTA member and would like to register additional attendees from your municipality who are not current MMTA members, select "register a guest" on the online registration form to add your coworkers. The non-member rate for Toolkit sessions is $99 per attendee or $297 for the Toolkit Combo, which includes all three sessions.

2025 Toolkit Series - coming soon!
