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 eligible to participate 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 membership 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 is employed by a government entity but would be required to pay membership dues out-of-pocket (rather than the government entity).
Please complete this application to request a reduction in IGFOA annual dues to the lowest member rate of $150. Email the completed application and a copy of your organization’s most recent annual financial statement (for special districts) to the IGFOA’s Executive Director at execdir@igfoa.org. The IGFOA Membership Committee will review the application and notify applicants of their decision.
