Discounts:
The following discounts are available:
- Early Registration: For select events, register early and receive a 10 percent discount. Please click here to view the GFOA Events Calendar and deadline dates. In order to be eligible for the discount, registrations must be received and paid in full by check or credit card by the date listed with the monthly sessions. Certain seminars do not qualify for an early discount. Please visit gfoa.org for complete policies.
Cancellation
Cancellation requests must be made in writing to GFOA by e-mail. All cancellations received five business days before the event date will incur a $20 administrative fee. No refunds will be issued after that date.
GFOA is not responsible for travel expenses for in-person training. Accordingly, attendees are encouraged to make refundable travel arrangements in the event training is cancelled. If an in-person training course is cancelled by GFOA, registrants will be notified at least 15 business days in advance and registration fees refunded in full.
Registration
Online registration will be unavailable once a course begins.
New Members
If you join GFOA at the same time that you register for a seminar, you may enroll at the lower member rate and receive an additional discount of $25. Include your membership fee with your registration payment.

Substitutions (government entities only)
A one-for-one substitution of a nonmember for an active member is allowed. If your organization has a current GFOA member on the staff who is not attending the training, a nonmember may attend in his or her place at the lower member rate. Nonmembers (from the private sector) cannot substitute for associate members.
Instructors
On occasion, instructors are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. GFOA will attempt to notify attendees in advance by e-mail, phone, or via our website. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause our attendees.
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Certificates
CPE credit will be awarded through the Learning Management System (LMS). Please note that CPE credits are not awarded for viewing archived recordings.
Meals
Continental breakfast and lunch are included with the registration fee for group-live and immersion courses. Lunch is only provided on full days.
