Financial Civics
Give Your Members the Information They Deserve
The federal government publishes a comprehensive set of audited financial statements every year. Michael Doorley, CPA, translates that document into plain language — so your members can understand where America actually stands, in the government's own words.
Every American is affected by the government's fiscal decisions — most just don't have access to the numbers.
The Financial Report of the United States Government is published every year. Almost no one reads it.
Michael translates that document into plain language — no jargon, no spin, just the government's own data.
Audiences leave informed, engaged, and equipped to participate in the national conversation.
Who Michael Speaks To
Michael tailors every presentation to his audience — whether that's a Rotary luncheon, a college classroom, or a public library forum.
Civic Associations
Rotary clubs, Kiwanis, Lions, League of Women Voters, civic leagues
Your members are engaged citizens who care about their community and their country. Give them the financial literacy to understand what Washington's own numbers actually say — and why it matters for the future they are building.
Public Libraries
Community education programs, public forums, adult learning series
Libraries are the cornerstone of an informed public. A Michael Doorley presentation fits naturally into any civic education series — nonpartisan, accessible, and grounded entirely in government-published data.
Colleges and Universities
Undergraduate classrooms, continuing education, public lecture series
Students and lifelong learners deserve to understand the financial realities shaping their future. Michael's presentations translate complex federal accounting into concepts any engaged person can grasp — no finance background required.
Veterans Organizations
American Legion posts, VFW chapters, veterans service organizations
Veterans have served this country and have a deep stake in its fiscal health. Michael's nonpartisan, fact-based presentation gives veterans' groups the information they need to understand the financial obligations the government has made — and what the numbers really show.
"An informed public is not a partisan goal. It is the foundation of a functioning democracy — and it starts with understanding the numbers."
