Student teams will collaboratively analyze and offer a written response to a case centered on how a U.S. city government creates a citizen-centric report. The registration deadline is Monday, Oct. 3, 2010. All members of the three highest-scoring teams will receive a scholarship to attend AGA's National Leadership Conference, set for February 17-18, 2011 in Washington, D.C. Teams will present their finalized solutions before a panel of federal/state/local government leaders, corporate partners and CFOs. The winning teams will be announced at the awards luncheon on the final day of the conference.
   • Cash prizes will be awarded to the winning team. Each student participant will receive a free one-year membership to AGA. Students will compete with teams from various colleges around the country. The experience promises to challenge students' moral reasoning, raise their awareness of the importance of government accountability and open doors to a future career in government. *This competition is only open to currently enrolled undergraduate college students.
