You are invited to join the Milken Institute Center for Financial Markets for the Public Finance/CFO Forum. Over two days, the virtual plenaries, featuring Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, will cover State and Local Government issues as well as Innovation in Resilient Infrastructure.
With trillion-dollar deficits for both basic public services and critical community infrastructure needed for post-COVID economic recovery, the time is now for innovators from governments, communities and the private sector to come together to set a new public finance agenda focused on outcomes over orthodoxies.
