Overview
Advanced Institute is designed to provide members with credentials like the MiCPT, the CPFA, and the ACPFA an opportunity to further investigate topics in order to challenge themselves and expand their understanding of public treasury. Topics are often advanced and will include both on-the-job skills as well as a deeper look at developing interpersonal, leadership and management skills necessary to run a successful treasury office. There is a heavy emphasis on peer learning and networking to ensure attendees develop professional resources. Download a printable pdf of the info sheet above by clicking on the image.

Schedule
The 2026 Advanced Institute will be Monday, May 11 - Wednesday, May 13 at the H Hotel in downtown Midland. Please note that this year's conference schedule starts on Monday morning and concludes Wednesday at noon. We will celebrate our Past Presidents one evening but attendees are 'on their own' for the other evening's dinner and lunch on Wednesday. 

Attendance
All attendees are responsible for tracking the sessions they attend; a point tally sheet will be provided to assist you. Attendance is only in-person; there is no livestreaming option. The MMTA Board of Directors has committed to having both Basic and Advanced Institute as in-person conferences to ensure learning from both presenters and through networking with other attendees.

Past President Reception
There will be a celebration of MMTA's Past Presidents one evening during Advanced Institute. Dinner will be provided for all attendees and any Past Presidents who are able to attend. We look forward to recognizing those individuals who have worked tirelessly over the years to encourage and grow MMTA into the resource that it is today. More details coming soon!
