Let’s get fiscal! Submit a proposal for the 2024 Municipal Finance Institute

By Cal Cities Education Staff

Can you crack a pun while breaking down a complex monetary topic? Cal Cities is seeking informative, interesting session proposals for California's premier education event for fiscal officers: the Municipal Finance Institute. Taking place at the Meritage in Napa, Dec. 11-12, the conference will bring together finance directors and other city fiscal planners for two days of learning, collaboration, and inspiration.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to gain visibility and share your expertise by submitting a session proposal. The institute attracts leaders from around the state.

This year's institute will offer educational and innovative leadership sessions across a variety of formats. Change is constant in cities. These sessions will support fiscal officers by equipping them with the latest knowledge, tools, and policies to advance their communities.

What we're looking for

Submissions from individuals, groups, businesses, and organizations on any topic of interest are welcome. Cal Cities encourages session proposals that are creative and modern in their programming and format.

A diverse volunteer group of Cal Cities members will review each proposal through an online survey. Proposals are evaluated on their broad appeal, topic timeliness, originality, innovation, interactivity, creativity, supporting evidence, the ability to provoke discussion or thought, and the absence of product or vendor commercialization.

The deadline to submit a proposal is Friday, June 14.

How to submit

Only proposals submitted online through the proposal form will be considered. There is a limit to the number of words for each proposal's title and description. Be sure to read the instructions carefully as requirements differ between session types.

Visit the Municipal Finance Institute webpage for more information. For questions, please email Associate Manager, Event Program, Erin Wylder.
