“The annual GFOA-PA conference is always a highlight on my schedule. I look forward to reconnecting with my colleagues and listening to the education sessions.” “The 2025 GFOA-PA Annual Conference was in Lancaster was amazing! It offered a relaxed and enjoyable combination of professional development, community engagement, and networking – all while situated in lovely historic downtown Lancaster.”
“GFOA-PA has given me the opportunity to network and learn so much about my career! The members of the East Region have become some of my go-to people when I have questions or want to bounce ideas off of another person. Recently, I joined the Education Committee, which I am so happy to be able to provide my insight and assistance on. Before joining GFOA-PA, furthering my education was limited to none. However, GFOA has really helped me understand my career and position better within my Township. I am looking forward to many more years with this organization!!” |

Overall, it was a very collaborative and educational space.”
