The New York State Government Finance Officers' Association (NYS GFOA) was founded in 1978 as a not-for-profit professional membership organization. Its membership is composed of more than 1,230 public and private sector government finance professionals throughout New York State.
The Association is governed by a thirty-three person Board that includes representatives from the public and private sectors and is supported by a full-time professional staff located in Albany, NY. NYS GFOA divides the state into five regions, each represented by a council that provides additional opportunities for professional interaction locally.
Board Structure
The Board of Governors consists of thirty-three members of the Association. Ten members (the five officers and five regional council chairs) serve as the Executive Committee. Ten governmental jurisdiction members, ten at-large members; and three past president ex officio members compose the remainder of the Board. All Board positions are one-year terms.
The process for election to the Board is through a nominating committee. This committee, which changes annually, reviews the current board and any individuals presented to them for consideration to establish the next Board of Governors. The committee presents the slate of officers, and board members during the Association's Annual Meeting, traditionally held in conjunction with the Annual Conference, for a vote by the members in attendance. Terms of office commence at the Annual Meeting.
What is NYS GFOA's mission?
The mission of NYS GFOA is to strengthen the capacity of government finance professionals to manage public finances effectively and responsibly and to use the collective knowledge and expertise of its members for the public benefit by enhancing government efficiency and accountability throughout New York State.
