Educational Partnership with the National Institute of Public Finance

AIF has been an instrumental part of the National Institute of Public Finance (NIPF), which is the not-for-profit educational foundation of the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST), since its re-launch in 2014.

AIF President Melissa Waller has served as the NIPF’s Executive Program Director, AIF Founder and CEO Brant Maller has chaired its Investments Track and both Melissa and Brant have served on the NIPF’s Board of Trustees during that time.

AIF Executive Director Andrew Messer has also been a core part of the NIPF dating back to his days as Oklahoma Deputy State Treasurer and was just named Vice Chair of the NIPF’s Investments Track.
