- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force
- "As an organization, we need to be mindful that we are part of a larger society that is not always the best it can be. Gone are the days when we can quietly sit back and ignore the significant racial and cultural issues in our society. We are a diverse organization, and we need to find ways to be more inclusive." - IGFOA President, Kevin Wachtel
- Growth & Engagement Network
- Website Redesign Task Force
- The IGFOA Website Redesign Task Force was created in 2019 and has since participated in long and thoughtful meetings to design a more functional, user-friendly, and updated website. The final redesign layout was presented to IGFOA’s website host and support firm, Spinutech mid-January of 2021. IGFOA leadership hopes the redesigned website will go live during 2021.
