On behalf of the Board of Directors of the NC Government Finance Officers Association, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the NCGFOA’s 2023 Spring Conference!.

It was wonderful to see so many of you in Asheville at this past Fall's Conference and we are glad to be at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel Raleigh-Durham, RTP once again for the Spring Conference.

Thank you to all of our Sponsors!  We are appreciative of our Spring Conference Sponsors! Sponsorship allows us to provide quality conferences that build strength in local government financial management and better serve citizens and businesses in North Carolina. Make sure you take time to visit with all of the sponsors and have the sponsors at the exhibit table sign your contest card! The association and its members sincerely appreciate the generosity and support of sponsors such as you.

We are excited to continue our tradition of offering a quality educational component for CPE hours as well as informational training to our membership.

Whether you are a new-comer or a veteran, please remember that this is YOUR Association.  I encourage you to get involved. This is an extraordinary time, but together we can see our way through and remain connected to each other while we promote good governance across our great state.

I wish you a wonderful Spring conference and I look forward to seeing everyone again at our Summer Conference in Wrightsville Beach.
