The professional focus of our members is to examine the creditworthiness of municipal bonds and the aspects of the municipal finance business as it relates to municipal credit.  

Our goals:

  • To promote professionalism in municipal credit analysis,
  • To further the skill level of our members and to provide a platform by which analysts can exchange ideas Through our educational programs and regaular events,
  • To advocate, when appropriate, issues of importance to the municipal finance industry, and
