Each state/provincial GFOA association assigns at least one representative to serve as GFOA’s liaison with its members in their state or province. Representatives are responsible for keeping GFOA and their state/provincial association aware of one another’s activities in order to help educate their membership. State/provincial representatives meet onsite prior to the start of GFOA’s annual conference to discuss GFOA programs, policies, and major regulatory and legislative developments. This is a joint meeting with the presidents of the state/provincial associations.
