2019 Board Elections President Dan Matusiewicz reported that Rudy will not be available for some time and that Don Patterson has been overseeing a Call for Nominations email. Don reported that the nominations email has been approved to be sent out to membership with a closing date of February 1st. Committee Reports Education and Certification Committee Hubert White reported on the February 14th Lunch and Learn event in conjunction with Manufacturers Bank in Brea, CA. Yelena reported that 11 people have signed up so far and the promotional email has gone out. Yelena reported that she will also add this event to the CMTA LinkedIn account. Michael Solorza also reported that he will work on the event promotion. Damien Charléty brought up the question of member vs. non-member event pricing for CSMFO members and if that is something that CMTA can look into. The board discussed this and agreed that this will be a good strategy for future events. Margaret Moggia reported that CMTA needs all the revenue generated from events it can get in order to fund the association and that the two organizations are independent and different. Margaret further reported that CSMFO is in a good financial standing and will not be changing their format to accommodate another organization. Damien further reported that CMTA should focus more on engaging CSMFO members in order to improve the quality of education provided by both associations, and to reach something that will be beneficial for members of both while showcasing CMTA. The board agreed that this topic is worth exploring and that the Membership Committee can work on forming strategic relationships with other organizations. Margaret reported that we need to encourage others to be a part of both organizations because it is a fiduciary responsibility. Don suggested holding a chapter lunch in partnership with CSMFO. Margaret will look into this as she is working closely with CSMFO chapters. Susan Munson reported on the progress of the 2019 CMTA Conference program and that even though the bulk of the program is set, keynote speakers haven’t been secured yet. Susan reported that she will be focusing on the CMTA Specialized Training pre-conference session once the keynotes are booked. Investment Policy Certification Subcommittee No report. Certification CCMT and CTC Subcommittee Ernestine Jones reported that she attended the CSMFO conference and helped out at the CMTA booth in the exhibit hall there where she spoke to many attendees that stopped at the booth about the certification program. Ernestine further reported that the committee has been working on finalizing the renewal fee for the CCMT holders. Ernestine also reported that she will be working with the Education Committee on reviewing the conference sessions and assigning the Specialized Training hours to the sessions that qualify. Commercial Associate Liaison Yelena reported that she worked with Kyle Tanaka to finalize the sponsorship packet for the 2019 Annual Conference. Dan reported that Kyle is no longer with CalTRUST but his new agency is interested in getting involved with CMTA.
Revenue and Taxation Policy Committee Don reported that he does not have any updates on the person who is interested in filling the role of Revenue and Taxation Policy Committee representative. 2018-19 Conference Committee Susan reported that the search for keynote speakers is still going on and that there are several leads that the committee is pursuing such as Fiona Ma. 2019-20 Conference Committee Don reported that he has been working with Teri who is wrapping up the contracts for the two venues in Northern California. Don also reported that the committee, along with the Education Committee, has been looking at some program restructuring for the future, specifically to have one extra day, Tuesday, for the pre-conference.

I completed the CCMTC program last year, and am very excited about the wealth of knowledge available to improve our Treasury services. The network of professionals in CMTA has been invaluable in helping me learn and grow. I’ve always appreciated the wonderful collaborative spirit of the people in CMTA and look forward to serving you and working to improve and continue the educational and networking opportunities that this organization offers, as well as recruiting new members. The team at CMTA is strong, our people are capable, and together we will

CCMT (2018) Membership Committee Chair (2018‐2019) Statement: As a member of CMTA for the last 3 years and CCMT holder, I have seen first‐hand the benefits of a strong organization to advocate, enhance, and educate professionals responsible for the investment of public funds. Most members do not have investments as their primary function and it is essential for them to have the resources and strong network to ensure they can effectively fulfill their fiduciary duty. As North Director, I will continue to look for opportunities to enhance membership through increased local presence and leveraging organizational partnerships. Working with the Membership and Education Committees, I will use my experience as Membership Committee Chair for CMTA, local Chapter Chair for CSMFO, and member of IMPAC to find avenues to offer more meetings and training in the North area over the next year. Michael Solorza, Director of Administrative Services/City Treasurer, City of Pico Rivera Qualifications: I am the current Board Member for the South Division and have participated in planning the annual conference, take part in monthly board meetings, and perform other related Board Member duties. In addition, in conjunction with the Education and Certification Committee Chair (Hubie White), I am coordinating the first "Lunch and Learn" for CMTA members in the South Division. Statement: I have had the privilege of serving as the South Division Director for the past two years. In addition to assisting with conference planning and providing input on the recent update to CMTA's by‐laws and standing rules, I am working to establish regular "Lunch and Learn" sessions for members in the South Division. These network and learning events will be aimed at informing our members and helping to grow CMTA's membership. I look forward to continuing these efforts and helping CMTA be the best organization for treasury and finance professionals.
ATTACHMENT D Membership Report
Membership Committee Perennial Workplan
The Membership Committee works to both retain and expand the membership of CMTA. In order to achieve its goals,
the Membership Committee must conduct activities throughout the year. Below are the short and long term goals of the
Membership Committee, and corresponding workplan items.
Membership Retention:
The strength of CMTA is in its returning members. The Membership Committee’s efforts should primarily be driven by a
goal to provide as high a retention rate as possible.
Annual Retention Strategy
o Rate Target
90% as of the end of each calendar year
o Renewal Letters Schedule
1st reminder via print and email notice to be sent by May 31
2nd reminder via email to be sent by July 31
3rd reminder via print and email to be sent as ‘final notice’ and by September 30
o Non‐Renewal Follow‐up
Additional reminder via email to be sent as ‘join us again’ and by December 31
In‐ person outreach by members of the Membership Committee or the CMTA Board to the
remaining non‐renewed members by January 31
o Reporting
Renewal rate to be reported at the first meeting fowling each deadline above
Long‐Term Retention Strategy
o Recent Non‐Renews
Reach out to remaining non‐renewed members from the previous year within 4 weeks of the
conference with a reminder about the existing membership discount for conference registration
o Older Non‐Renews
Reach out to historic non‐renewed agencies to bring these members back to CMTA
Outreach in reverse order of years of lapsed membership (lower first)
Outreach via specific email with survey designed to find information about non‐renewal
Use bounceback information to contact agencies for renewed membership
Membership Expansion
The future of CMTA is also in its ability to recruit new members. The Membership Committee is actively pursuing ways
to expand the membership of CMTA. To that end, the following actions from the Membership Committee will provide
avenues for future membership growth.
Internal Opportunities
o When receiving a bounceback email or when notified of a member leaving an agency
Reach out to agency, company, or member for updated information
o Reach out to agencies who have never been members by a member of the CMTA Board
Cross‐Association Opportunities
o Develop and maintain a list of member agencies cross‐referenced with CACTAC and CMSFO membership
o Explore partnerships with CACTAC and CSMFO to provide joint or discount membership opportunities
o Explore collaborations CACTAC, CSMFO, and CDIAC to sponsor events
o Work with the Education & Certification Committee to promote membership at sponsored events

Breakout Session 1 Investment Accounting and Reporting – Kickin’ it Up a Notch CPE: 1 CMTA Specialized Training: 1 California Government Code requires only minimal investment reporting to your entity's governing body. This session will discuss taking your investment reporting to the next level to assist the many stakeholders interested in the investment program. The presentation will show various ways to: account for and report investments; measure achievement of your primary objectives of safety, liquidity, and income; and checkup on how you are reporting the investment GASBs (31, 40, 72, 79).
Questions such as, "should cash in the bank be shown on an investment report" will be discussed. Also, with interest rates up and bond prices down, many entities are seeing unrealized losses on their portfolios. But what is really a "loss"? It sometimes depends on whether an entity includes amortization, accretion, and interest income. Come and join in for an interactive discussion to take your investment program to the graduate level!

Strategies to Stop Online Fraud, Mobile Banking Fraud, and Check Fraud Losses CPE: 1 CMTA Specialized Training: 1
Online financial fraud is exploding due to criminals' use of social engineering. Their schemes target businesses of all sizes and are often paired with wire fraud, payment diversion, and account takeovers. The attempts are often difficult to identify, resulting in thousands of victims and billions of dollars in losses. Knowing how to spot a scam is crucial in thwarting attempts.
Mobile Banking fraud through mobile Remote Deposit Capture (mRDC) has increased the complexity of check fraud. Few organizations know how to resolve the losses and Holder In Due Course claims caused by double‐presentments or other mRDC scams. Meanwhile, old‐school check fraud still produces more losses than any other form of payment fraud because businesses still issue checks. Check fraud is not going away.
Attendees will learn how to spot common internet scams, and how to implement proactive strategies and controls to protect their organizations from fraud losses. They will learn how Check 21 Warranties combine with Holder In Due Course to give recourse to banks and consumers seeking to recoup mRDC losses. The presenters will share real‐life fraud situations, including what went wrong and how the losses could have been prevented.
