Wake Forest Budget & Performance Manager Michelle Daniels recently completed the Certified Local Government Budget Officers (CLGBO) Program.

Sponsored by the NC Local Government Budget Association (NCLGBA) in partnership with the UNC School of Government (SOG), the CLGBO Program is designed to enhance the local government budget profession in North Carolina. Since 2009, the program has recognized individual achievement for an established level of knowledge on the topics of budgeting, performance, and evaluation.

Certification is achieved through a combination of professional experience and/or education, continuing professional education (CPE) requirements, and successful completion of three exams in the public budgeting field:

  • Local Government Budgeting

  • Capital Financing

  • Performance Measurement & Management

Michelle completed the necessary coursework and exceeded the professional experience, education, and exam score components to earn the CLGBO designation.

“Although she is relatively new to Wake Forest, Michelle has already proven to be an incredible asset,” said Assistant Town Manager/Chief Financial Officer Aileen Staples. “We are so proud of her and this new achievement.”

A Town employee since April, Michelle is Wake Forest’s first Budget & Performance Manager. In this role, she directs and oversees the development and maintenance of the Town’s annual operating and capital budgets by monitoring the budget performance of Town programs, tracking revenues and expenditures to assure sound fiscal control, and ensuring the effective and efficient use of budgeted funds, personnel, materials, facilities, and time.
