For local governments, a higher credit rating can mean substantial savings on future borrowing and more flexibility to invest in community infrastructure, housing, transportation and other essential services. Join the National League of Cities for a practical conversation on how cities can improve their credit profile and secure better interest rates on tax-exempt bonds.
This session features a case study from Chandler, Arizona, whose strong financial practices helped boost their bond rating to AAA status. Chandler’s CFO will share firsthand insights into the city’s fiscal strategies, while a credit advisor from S&P Global Ratings will walk through key criteria that influence municipal bond ratings and how cities can take action to improve them.
Speakers:
- Dawn Lang: Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, City of Chandler, Arizona
- Daniel Golliday: Associate Director, Local Governments – West, S&P Global – Ratings
