SERCAP (Southeast Rural Community Assistance Project, Inc.) announces its 9th year presenting The Basic Financial Workshops for the Small Rural Communities in North Carolina. SERCAP is nonprofit community technical assistance organization that helps rural communities primarily with infrastructure and community development needs. We are a subsidiary of Rural Community Assistance Partners (RCAP) a nationwide community assistance organization. This will be our 9th year providing these FREE workshops for those including elected officials, government managers (both town and county), financial managers/staff, public utility directors and or drinking water and wastewater managers and staff. We have had upward of 20 towns and communities represented at each workshop. This is a basic financial training class specifically geared toward the drinking water and wastewater programs in your community but will relate to any other enterprise fund you may have. We bring this free training to you! It is not a webinar nor is it a two- or three-day event. The purpose of the workshop is to give you and your staff a general overview of how financial programs in NC should be managed via the enterprise fund and the requirements of the LGC. If you have new staff or just need a little refresher this is something you should consider attending. In NC as you all may know the NC Local Government Commission reviews your financials each year via your annual audit. Sharon Edmundson with the NCLGC will be presenting regarding the requirements for local governments along with Dennis Delong with the USDA on options for USDA infrastructure funding. We will also have a segment where you can interact with your neighboring towns or communities in solving problems relating to infrastructure challenges and/or infrastructure needs.
