VOICES FROM THE GFOA 2026.
Between June 29 and July 1, 2026, the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) held its annual conference in Chicago. Thousands of GFOA members were in attendance.
We at Barrett and Greene Inc. took advantage of the opportunity to capture observations on video from eight of the attendees, including Chris Morrill, executive director of GFOA; Zach Markovits, Principal and Co-Founder of Fifteenth and Field; Sheanna Gomes, Manager, Fiscal and Economic Policy at the Pew Charitable Trusts; Laura Larsen, Vice President of Local Practice at Results for America and more.
You can find all of them below. Each one was interesting to us and we think they will be to you, too.
