• Conference Sponsorship

GFOA - The Corporation sponsors a financial professional working in municipal government in Nova Scotia to attend the annual Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Conference. This international conference is dedicated to the development of financial excellence in local government. Sponsorship generally covers most of the cost of attending the conference depending on the conference location.  

UNSM and AMA - The NSMFC provides sponsorships for the annual conferences of the Nova Scotia Federation of Municipalities (NSFM) and Association of Municipal Administrators, NS (AMA). This funding supports workshops and presentations for municipal finance officers.
