The FAF is seeking a highly qualified individual with substantial experience as a user of financial statements to fill one of the seven seats on the GASB.

Candidates must have well developed communication skills and be committed to working collegially with the other GASB members and staff. It is critical that candidates be well versed in the current environment of state and local government reporting and display a dedication to GASB’s mission.
