THE FUTURE OF GOVERNMENT FINANCE.

 

We've worked with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) over many years and have always been intrigued with its continuous explorations of new and innovative ways to approach issues of government finance.and state and local financial management.

 

In collaboration with that organization, we will be publishing periodic articles in this space dedicated to the future of government finance. These articles by Barrett and Greene will also be published simultaneously in the Women's Public Finance Newsletter at GFOA,  with the intent of inspiring new ideas for their members and our readers.
