FGFOA 2017 Annual Conference

2017 Annual Conference will be held at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, FL from Saturday, June 24 – Wednesday, June 28.

This year the theme for the conference will be “Focus on the Future”. As governments, we are experiencing a “Silver Tsunami” as our Baby Boomer generation continues to exit the workforce. As an organization, we are constantly looking at ways in which we can provide educational opportunities for the future leaders of both our local governments and the FGFOA.

The Program Committee has put together an excellent program of education, which will benefit finance professionals from all skill levels. There will be two pre-conference sessions, one on leadership, focusing on our future leaders, and the second on investments. The two-day beginner Boot Camp will be held on Saturday and Sunday, which will provide those attendees the opportunity to register and attend the conference in addition to the Boot Camp. The Boot Camp fills up quickly, so if you want to attend, I encourage you to register very soon.

The Host Committee has planned some great networking opportunities during the conference. The Tuesday night event will be held at the Diplomat with an Old Hollywood theme. The paparazzi will be out looking for those photo opportunities, so put on your Hollywood Glam or come as you are! This should be a night full of fun, great networking opportunities, good music and of course delicious food!

Mark your calendars for June 24-28 and plan to join us in Hollywood as we continue to “Focus on the Future”. Your attendance makes the FGFOA conference a huge success, so register early.
