The State Debt Management Network (SDMN) is the go-to-authority on issues relating to state-issued municipal bonds. We lead, educate on and advocate for policy that promotes the efficient and responsible management and issuance of state debt. Together, our members work to improve the issuance and management of state debt, and to enhance best practices through thorough collaboration, education, and the exchanging of ideas and innovations.
Education
From in person conferences to webinars, we offer a bring together public finance officials from all branches of state government and all levels of experience to create hours of educational programming on issues of critical importance to state debt management.
