Steady Ground: Fiscal Governance as Your Strategic Anchor in a Shifting Workforce Landscape

Melissa Aguilar-Southard, Senior Project Director and Subject Matter Expert, Safal Partners

Melissa Robbins, Chief Executive Officer, National Association of Workforce Development Professionals

Joshua Matlock, President / CEO, CareerSource Suncoast

State and local workforce leaders are navigating a rapidly shifting landscape: WIOA reauthorization debates, AI-driven labor market demands, and changing federal guidance. Strong fiscal governance ensures workforce leaders stay nimble and prepared for what’s next.

Join Melissa Aguilar-Southard, Senior Project Director and Subject Matter Expert with Safal Partners, Melissa Robbins, Chief Executive Officer with the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals, and Joshua Matlock, President and CEO of CareerSource Suncoast, for a candid conversation on fiscal governance. The presenters will discuss practical strategies workforce boards and leaders can use to strengthen fiscal governance policies and processes, maintain compliance and reduce performance risk. Presenters will also discuss the impact of fiscal officer turnover, including how leadership transitions can create significant knowledge gaps and why ongoing training is crucial for sustaining strong fiscal operations. Attendees will leave with key questions to drive fiscal governance decision-making; practical resources covering financial reporting, internal controls, and procurement standards; and information on Safal Partners’ next step training opportunities.
