ABFMs Executive Committee is holding a contest to select a NEW LOGO for our association.

We need your most creative ideas for what it should look like, as we are searching for an image that best reflects the purpose of our association. The handshake and word banner (shown above) that is on our website has served us well, but there may be a better logo that coveys our mission and what we do at ABFM. Not only are we asking members to submit designs, but we will also want your help in deciding the best submitted design. Look out for an email on September 23rd with proposed designs and information on how you can vote for your favorite. The winning designer will receive a one-year membership in ABFM and the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA). These memberships also include one-year subscriptions to Public Budgeting & Finance and Public Administration Review (Total prize value: $125). Contest Guidelines
