Black Caucus of the GFOA

Black Caucus of the GFOA

Black Caucus is open to any GFOA active government member.

Mission Statement

Established in 1991, the Black Caucus of the Government Finance Officers Association is dedicated to supporting the aspirations and achievements of African American public finance officers; to pursue professional development opportunities for our members; and to sponsor projects to assist African Americans seeking careers in government finance. Through education and networking opportunities, the Black Caucus supports members in their careers and encourages members to participate and contribute at the national level and in the state associations.

This Affinity Group is a free member benefit with no additional fees or volunteer requirements. As a member, you’ll gain access to exclusive networking events, webinars, and an online Community forum to connect, exchange ideas, and build relationships with your peers.
