Finance Director David Goldman has been appointed to the Government Finance Officer’s Association’s Committee on Governmental Budgeting and Fiscal Policy for a three-year term.
The Budgeting and Fiscal Policy advises GFOA and recommends policies in budgeting, management, and related public finance areas. The committee actively promotes the professionalism of budget practitioners through the development of best practices and researching various initiatives. In meeting these responsibilities, the committee serves as a forum for the exchange of information about emerging issues, concepts, and techniques in public budgeting and management.
Director Goldman is honored to be one of twenty-five people out of over 20,000 members selected to help move the field of public finance forward. He plans to focus on exploring the gap between what is recommended for budgeting best practices and what is generally implemented and ensuring that the challenges inherent to resource constrained smaller cities are addressed.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), founded in 1906, represents public finance officials throughout the United States and Canada. The association's more than 20,000 members are federal, state/provincial, and local finance officials deeply involved in planning, financing, and implementing thousands of governmental operations in each of their jurisdictions. GFOA's mission is to advance excellence in public finance.
