For the third consecutive year Red Deer County has received the Government Finance Officers Association’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award.
This most recent award was for the 2018-2020 budget document.
“We are extremely proud of the team effort that went into winning this award. Once again, Red Deer County has shown a true commitment to responsible and transparent budgeting,” said Heather Surkan, the county’s corporate services director.
“This award is a vote of confidence in the processes Red Deer County has in place to ensure that ratepayers are getting a clear view of county finances.”
Based in Chicago, the Government Finance Officers Association is the chief body for over 18,000 elected local, state, and provincial-level government finance officials.
