ANALYSIS
Government finance professionals require extensive specialized continuing education in
a wide range of government finance topics to stay abreast of current laws,
pronouncements, trends and practices which should be implemented Citywide. The
GFOA conference is one of the few venues that provide extensive specialized training in
a single setting at the same time.
