Public Sector Membership
Public Sector membership is open to those who are working as government finance professionals or other government employees representing villages, cities, townships, counties, park districts, library districts, fire prevention districts, state government, special districts, retirement systems, schools, colleges and universities. IGFOA membership dues are not refundable. Dues are paid on a calendar year basis January – December.
The IGFOA bylaws encourage members of the Association to follow the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada current Code of Professional Ethics. For more details on the different benefits, please refer to the Dues Schedule and FAQs.
IGFOA Public Sector New Member Incentive Plan
- The incentive is for new government members only (never a member of IGFOA.)
- The new government member will pay a prorated membership rate based off of the month joined. For example, the cost of a government entity adding an additional member is $100. If the member joins in July, the amount invoiced would be $50 (i.e. $8.33 per month).
New members who have questions or are interested in participating in this program should contact IGFOA at info@igfoa.org or (630) 942-6587.
IGFOA Application for Dues Reduction for Special Districts and Special Circumstances
The Membership Committee offers a special program to reduce members’ dues for special districts and special circumstances. Special districts are governmental entities that have a large population base but minimal revenues. Special circumstances refers to situations where a member who is employed by a government entity would be required to pay membership dues out-of-pocket (rather than the government entity).
Please complete this application to request a reduction in the annual dues to the lowest member rate of $150 for the IGFOA. Email the completed application and a copy of your organization’s most recent annual financial statement to the IGFOA’s Executive Director at execdir@igfoa.org. The application and annual financial statement will be reviewed by the IGFOA’s Membership Committee, and applicants will be notified of their decision.
