Make cents out of city budgets at the Municipal Finance Institute

The Municipal Finance Institute is open for registration through Dec 4

By Cal Cities Education Staff

Even without high interest rates and emerging issues, managing city budgets can be challenging. Join fellow municipal finance officers in Napa, Dec. 11-12, to learn how to better budget for the benefit of your community.

Designed for finance directors and others involved in city fiscal planning, the Municipal Finance Institute connects municipal finance professionals with the essential information they need for their jobs, as well as opportunities to learn from each other. Topics for this year include cybersecurity, sales tax, and city budgets.

Registration and hotel information 

Registration for the full conference starts at $500 for city officials from any Cal Cities member city. Registration includes admission to all educational sessions, institute meals, and access to all program materials. The deadline to register online is Wednesday, Dec. 4. After that, officials may register on-site if space is available. 

The 2024 Municipal Finance Institute will be at the Meritage Resort in Napa. A limited number of hotel rooms are available at a reduced rate for conference attendees who register before Thursday, Nov. 14. Discounted hotel rooms often sell out early, so advance registration is encouraged.

Cal Cities’ health and safety protocols — which are subject to change — are available online. For more information, including registration details, visit the Municipal Finance Institute webpage.
