Conference Information
Fall Forums are Free for NAST Members, Registration Required!
In lieu of the Annual Conference, which was to be held in San Diego, NAST is offering five Fall Forums with topics suggested and selected by our members. Like most in-person events, we had to cancel our annual gathering but we are still providing the same quality professional learning you have come to expect from NAST. These Forums offer 90 minutes of high-quality programing with extended conversations and networking.
Membership in NAST is universal – anyone in your agency/company is a member and can sign up for these informational sessions. Please share this announcement with others on your staff who would benefit from attending these interactive sessions. Consider inviting a new employee who maybe doesn’t know NAST (yet) or a colleague you are mentoring.
Attendees will receive over seven hours of in-depth presentations from noted speakers either live or on-demand. These online events are intended for all levels of staffing in Treasury and related offices and companies. Webinars will be recorded for on-demand viewing, although only live events are eligible for Certificates of Attendance.

State Finances in the Era of COVID-19
Welcome Sponsors: Bank of America and Federated Hermes
2020 started with record high markets, states finally reaching and surpassing pre-recession revenues and reserves, and widespread economic confidence. Since March, however, Congress had passed several bills constituting the largest stimulus package in history, first time unemployment claims hit all-time highs, and a global pandemic roiled markets. Join us for comprehensive discussions on the status of state finances in 2020, the impacts of COVID-19 on state budgets, and where state finance officials go from here. Panel topics will include analysis of federal stimulus efforts, updates on state budgets, liquidity and cash flow challenges, state debt borrowing, and much more.
