Register now for VGFOA Spring 2011 Conference - Virginia
Beach |
Networking and
sharing ideas with finance officers from
across the Commonwealth are never more important
than at times like these. And,
there's no better venue for a conference
than springtime in Virginia Beach.
This year's
conference will be held June
8-10, 2011, at the Hilton
Virginia Beach Oceanfront Hotel.
The conference
will feature a
keynote address by Dr. Peter Ronoayne of
the Federal Executive Institute. Ronoayne is a
fascinating speaker and author whose
work has focused on demographic trends
and leadership issues. Also on the
program is Susan Gafney, GFOA's Federal
Liaison, who will explore some of the
key issues facing local governments and
their finance officers resulting from
legislation and regulatory actions in Washington.
Conference information and
registration are available
HERE.

2011 VGFOA Certificate Program Course Scholarships |
The VGFOA Executive Board several years ago created the certificate program
course scholarships to encourage participation in the VGFOA certification
program, especially among members from smaller local governments or from areas
of the state where VGFOA participation has been limited. This year’s certificate course scholarship program offers
five individual course scholarships, valued at $225.
VGFOA membership is required to apply for the certificate course
scholarships.
Certificate course scholarships are valid for up to one
year after the award and winners may choose any VGFOA certificate course offered
during that time. All other costs
must be covered by the attendee or employer.
The VGFOA Awards and Membership Committee considers
a number of factors when recommending award candidates, such as the applicant’s
professional experience, short-term and long-term career goals, current position
within the employer’s organization, previous VGFOA certificate program
participation, and population and budget of the applicant’s locality.
Also considered is the locality’s geographic location within Virginia.
Applicants are encouraged to provide
full and complete information since competition for these scholarships is
usually intense.
The
application deadline for 2011 is Friday, April 15, 2011.
Scholarship winners will be
announced in May 2011. Application
and additional information available
HERE. |
