In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a communications device. This award is valid for a period of one year only. We · believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award. In approximately four weeks, GFOA will mail a congratulatory letter to your designated executive official, accompanied by a press release. The Government Finance Officers Association encourages you to make arrangements for a formal presentation of the award. If you would like the award presented by a member of your state or provincial finance officers association, we can provide the name of a contact person for that group.
