The mission of the GFOA LGBTQIA+ Caucus is to stand for the equitable representation and participation of LGBTQIA+ financial professionals in the financial management of governments in the United States and Canada. This mission will be accomplished by publicly highlighting the governmental contributions of LGBTQIA+ financial management professionals; educating the public and the financial management profession about LGBTQIA+ people; and advocating for the equality of opportunity for LGBTQIA+ financial management professionals to participate in and contribute to governments in the United States and Canada.

This Affinity Group is a free member benefit with no additional fees or volunteer requirements. As a member, you’ll gain access to exclusive networking events, webinars, and an online Community forum to connect, exchange ideas, and build relationships with your peers.
