Tanya Garost, CPA, CA, Chief Administrative Officer, District of Lake Country, British Columbia, was elected as the 2023–2024 president-elect of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) during its 117th Annual Conference in Portland, Oregon.

Her goals for GFOA are to continue working with governments to support their diverse communities, strive for equity for the many groups GFOA serves, and to create safe spaces for everyone. “Not only will this assist in creating stronger communities but will also help with the attraction and retention of staff that so many of us are struggling with,” said Garost.
