Wake Forest's very own Budget & Performance Manager, Michelle Daniels, has recently upped the ante in municipal finance management by securing the Certified Local Government Budget Officers (CLGBO) designation, an accolade that speaks to her proficiency in the specialized field of public budgeting, capital financing, and performance measurement, according to a recent Town of Wake Forest announcement.

The program, a collaborative venture by the North Carolina Local Government Budget Association and the UNC School of Government, signifies a recognition that Daniels has surpassed the stringent blend of experience, continuous professional education and exam results necessary to be deemed a maestro of sorts in local government budgeting, despite her relatively short tenure with Wake Forest, which began in April, said Assistant Town Manager and CFO Aileen Staples in a statement obtained by Town of Wake Forest news, "Michelle has already proven to be an incredible asset, we are so proud of her and this new achievement."

Her role, critical in nature, involves directing and overseeing Wake Forest’s financial strategy, ensuring sound fiscal controls, and managing resources for maximized efficiency and efficacy, a job she's been officially commended for excelling in via her latest professional milestone.

People in Wake Forest or those interested in the financial stewardship of the town can engage with Daniels through her office number at 919-435-9482, or her email [email protected], a connection that not only links her to the citizens she serves but also serves as testimony to the town's commitment to hiring personnel who carry not just the degree but the declaration of skill, in this specific arena of public service.
