Happy Holidays and hopeful rest to the highly active ALN community. Leaders are very busy people and it is good that every once in a while society forces at least a little break from the intensity of problems we face. We hope you find joy and happiness in the coming weeks.
We are happy to announce Assetic, Inc. as a new member of the ALN. Founded in Australia, the asset management software company and consultant also has offices in Canada and England. It is now owned by U.S. based Dude Software. We are already working with Assetic on a 2022 Q1 conference for the Chicago-based Government Finance Officers Association, which services local government CFOs. Assetic was co- founded by Ashay Prabhu, who is featured in People below.
