President’s Welcome

It is truly an honor to serve as your President for the 2026–2027 season.

SWOAFP has long been a place where treasury, banking, and finance professionals come together to learn, collaborate, and build meaningful relationships. As our industry continues to evolve, our mission remains the same: to provide relevant education, valuable networking opportunities, and a strong professional community for finance leaders across Southwest Ohio.

This year, our board is focused on creating an engaging and impactful experience for our members through:

  • Educational programming and treasury-focused discussions
  • Networking events that strengthen regional connections
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Community involvement and industry collaboration
  • Continued support for CTP and FP&A learning and advancement

Whether you are a long-time treasury professional, a banking leader, or someone newer to the industry, we hope SWOAFP becomes a place where you feel connected, supported, and inspired.

I would also like to personally thank our board members, sponsors, speakers, and volunteers whose time and dedication make this organization possible. Your support continues to strengthen the treasury and finance community in Southwest Ohio.

We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event soon!
