About Us

The mission of GPGFOA is to advance excellence in government finance. There is great value in sharing ideas and experiences among state finance staff and local finance officials, between city and county governments, and among multiple states in the Great Plains region. 

GPGFOA was incorporated in the fall of 2009 in response to the need for a state/local chapter of the GFOA for government finance professionals in Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota.

GPGFOA's primary work has been to organize conferences for professional development, featuring locally- and nationally-known speakers on a wide range of subjects important to government finance. These conference sessions usually qualify for continuing education credits (CTEs), in addition to offering the chance to share ideas and experiences with one’s peers from other jurisdictions. 

GPGFOA has held these educational events since 2010, and in 2019, it entered into an agreement with the University of Nebraska at Omaha to provide conference development, support, and coordination.
