There are no fees or charges associated with the program. Winners will be recognized at the next annual conference for GFOA. GFOA will also waive conference registration fees for up to two (2) individuals from the award recipient and the individual responsible for submitting the application. Award winners are responsible for all travel costs associated with attending the conference.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions for many governments, GFOA is extending the offer of complementary registration to include GFOA's virtual conference or the next in-person conference the winner would be able to attend.
