Building Understanding with GFOA's New Budget Award Criteria
Presented by:
Trends in budgeting and technological advances have significantly changed the way that governments communicate budget information to stakeholders. Websites, dashboards, newsletters, videos, and other popular media can be more effective than a lengthy PDF document for communicating key messages. Attend this session to learn how GFOA’s new budget award criteria encourage governments to innovate, evolve, and respond to community expectations.
Rather than creating a book that overwhelms its audience, GFOA challenges governments to get to the point, answer key budget questions, and clearly communicate to stakeholders how the budget impacts them and what they care about.
