Urban Forum
GFOA Affinity Group for Members in Large Governments
GFOA's Urban Forum provides an opportunity for members of large governments to network and exchange information on topics unique to the demands of managing their large and complex entities. The Forum was created in 2006 and held its initial meeting at GFOA's Montreal conference in May 2006. The Urban Forum is currently open to GFOA members in urban jurisdictions from the United States and Canada with metropolitan area populations of 1,000,000 or more.
