The California Society of Municipal Finance Officers is the statewide organization serving all California municipal finance professionals. We promote excellence in financial management through innovation, continuing education and the professional development of our members. CSMFO members are deeply involved in the key issues facing cities, counties, and special districts in the State of California. We value honesty and integrity, and adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct. CSMFO currently has approximately 1,600 members.
We are currently seeking proposals for the 2013 Annual Conference concurrent sessions that address issues of interest to California municipal finance professionals, provide education and offer innovative solutions. This is an excellent opportunity to present your ideas, solutions, experience, and research to 800-900 municipal finance officers. All CSMFO members and nonmembers are invited to submit. Proposals are being accepted through August 29 2012. Please use this 2013 Call for Sessions form for your submission. If you have already submitted an idea to the Program Committee, please re-submit using the Call for Sessions form.
The annual conference features approximately 30-35 concurrent sessions in five or six educational tracks. Concurrent sessions are lecture-style featuring one to three speakers.
Topics should be educational, non-commercial, and provide value to a wide-ranging group of attendees. Sales pitches or marketing for products and/or services submitted as proposals will not be considered.
Scheduling of sessions will likely be determined before November 30, 2012. CSMFO will notify you via e-mail if your proposal was selected.
Sincerely,
Viki Copeland
CSMFO Program Committee Chair
Finance Director
