Lamb Couty, Treasurer, Jerry Yarbrough, joined county officials from across Texas at the 2025 Conference of the County Investment Academy, held June 16-18 in Corpus Christi, Nueces County.
Hosted by the Texas Association of Counties (TAC), the annual conference brought together county treasurers, auditors, commissioners and finance professionals to strengthen financial leadership and enhance investment strategies for county governments. Discussion topics included current economic trends, best practices in public fund investing and strategies for leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance county management.
“This conference is a great chance to learn what’s new and what’s working when it comes to managing county finances,” Yarbrough said. “It helps ensure we manage taxpayer dollars wisely and keep our county financially secure.” Yarbrough also committed that they had incredible speakers and she loved soaking up all the knowledge and inspiration from attending the conference.
The County Investment Academy is co-sponsored by the SW Graduate School of Banking at SMU Cox and reflects a statewide commitment to ongoing education and sound financial stewardship in county government.
