Affinity Groups

Purpose

Opportunity for finance personnel to meet with their peers from other jurisdictions to discuss issues of common interest.  An Affinity Group provides a forum for members to explore these common interest issues and share how their jurisdictions are handling the issues.

Chair

The Chair of each Affinity Group will be responsible for assembling topics for each meeting, preparing the agenda, keeping the discussion focused and orderly so the attendees will receive the maximum benefit of investing their time at each meeting.

Meeting Attendance

A MD GFOA Active Member or their designee and a MD GFOA Associate Member that is interested in promoting the practice of government financial management, and furthering the purpose and objectives of the Association may attend the meetings.  Anyone other than those noted above must be invited to a specific meeting by the Affinity Group Chair.  Meetings are to be announced to the general membership via email or newsletter by the Association headquarters with an RSVP required.

New Affinity Group

If a MD GFOA Active Member feels there is a need to establish a new Affinity Group, the member should submit a recommendation, through a current Board member, to the Board of Directors.  The Board will review and discuss the recommendation and communicate its decision to form a new Affinity Group to the membership, if that is the decision.  If the decision is made not to establish a new Affinity Group, this will be communicated to the member that initially submitted the recommendation.
