About APFP

Background

APFP-Shield-nwThe Association of Public Finance Professionals of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (“APFP” and “APFP-DMV”) was the organic outgrowth of numerous informal gatherings of public finance professionals and local issuers coordinated by regional professionals in the Greater Washington, DC Area. In 2014 we formalized this ad‐hoc group of organizers to include Craig Robinson (the originator), Darrin Glymph, Jonathan Kirn, Pam Holton, Peter Cunningham and Anton Voinov with input from other public finance professionals. In the Spring of 2014 this group hosted an after work gathering with 54 attendees including municipal issuers, financial advisors, investment advisors, investment bankers, bond underwriters, disclosure counsel and trustee / paying agent representatives – the beginning of the APFP Social Events.

Goals

Our goal is to create a forum for governmental issuers and related professionals in the Greater Washington Metropolitan area to meet, exchange ideas, discuss those issues that we have in common, and to socialize. We will have a number of exciting events throughout the year which will include social hours, special guest speaker presentations, and panel discussions about current topics in the public finance industry. Specifically, APFP-DMV plans to take advantage of our location and proximity to the industry regulators and host regulatory update presentations.

“APFP performs an important function in the field of public finance, and it is an honor to help lead such an esteemed group of professionals in that endeavor.”
