Shayne Kavanagh is the Senior Manager of Research for GFOA. Shayne has been developing
the practice and technique of long-term financial planning for local government
since 2002 and has been working with local governments on financial planning
ever since.
The Center for Priority Based Budgeting has had the privilege
to collaborate with Shayne since 2008 when we spoke together about Priority Based
Budgeting at GFOA's Annual Conference
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
We've each
been on the front-lines of the "New Normal" throughout these last few
years and it was Shayne's objective research about how local governments are
not only surviving, but creating great transformations in their organizations
and their communities that led us to partner on GFOA’s White Paper: Anatomy of a Priority Driven Budgeting Process.
He is the author of a number of publications on financial
planning, including:
-
Financing the Future, the leading book about
long-term financial planning in local government
-
Financial Policies, the essential guide to
developing and implementing policies that define standards for financial
management.
-
And a number of articles on long-term financial
planning, financial policies, budget reform, using technology to improve
efficiency, and other related topics for magazines including Government Finance
Review, Public Management, School Business Affairs, and Public CIO.
He is also a regular speaker on the topic of financial
planning, having spoken at a number of conferences on the topic, including: the
national GFOA conference, the International City/County Managers Association,
the National League of Cities, and the National Tax Association. He has also
been a guest lecturer at Northern Illinois University, the University of
Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Chicago.
We are so pleased to have Shayne bring the lessons learned
of Long-term Financial Planning to the "Summit of Leading Practices."
