If you’ve never applied for the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, what’s holding you back? Are you worried it’s too complicated or time-consuming? Are you lacking buy-in from stakeholders with a "what’s the big deal" attitude?
It is a big deal! The primary goal of the GFOA award is to help local governments produce best-in-class budget books. Better budget books improve your transparency and communication with citizens, help you make data-driven decisions, and support continual improvement in the budgeting process — to name a few benefits!
