One Platform for the Whole Office
A Look at gWorks Financials
About this session
Most city offices run on more tools than anyone planned for. Budget lives in one place, utility billing in another, and receipts somewhere else entirely, which means the same number gets typed three times.
In this free session, Emily Crofton walks through what it looks like when financials, billing, and reporting share one platform, following a single community's data from the first entry to the final report.
Whether you are evaluating a change or just curious what is possible, you will leave knowing what the all-in-one approach actually looks like day to day. Emily and Chris Bahle, our Director of Client Success, take your questions at the end.

1099s and W-2s
What to File and When
About this session
2026 coming to a close brings a different kind of deadline: the forms.
In this free session, Gail Tucker walks through 1099 and W-2 processing for a local government office, what the IRS expects, and the habits during the year that make January easier. Gail takes your questions at the end.
Nothing in this session is tied to any particular software, so it applies whatever your office runs on.
This session is general guidance, not tax advice. Please confirm anything specific to your community with your auditor.

Asset Management and Inspections
Getting Off the Spreadsheet
About this session
Most communities know what they own. Fewer can say where it is, what condition it is in, and when it was last inspected without opening three spreadsheets and calling someone.
In this session, Tina Clark shows how assets and inspections work when they live in one place, from a crew logging an inspection in the field to the report you hand to the council.

Social Media Planning for Your Community
About this session
Your residents are on Facebook. Is your city? You do not need a communications department or a budget to keep your community informed online, but you do need a plan you can actually stick to.
In this free session, Jessica Bauer shares a practical playbook you can run without a communications team: what to post, how often, and how to handle the comments nobody wants to answer.
