FGFOA List Serves - Sign up today!
The FGFOA has established five new List Serve’s to allow the membership to communicate on important issues.

What are List Serves? List Serves are email based communication where you become a member. As a member, you can ask the other members of the List Serve a question by sending an e-mail to that List Serve email address. Members of the List Serve can choose to get the emails as they are sent or get them all at once at some scheduled time.  You will receive all emails sent to that List Serve address. You can unsubscribe at any time. There are five List Serves. You can sign up for one or all of them, depending on your interest.
