About this Event
The Fiscal Future Summit is an all-day event for people of all levels of enthusiasm for local government to talk with neighbors and work together to identify priorities.
Prior knowledge of the MOA budget is not required. Lunch will be provided and while registration is not required, it is encouraged for attendees to receive event updates and reserve a lunch.
In the past year, several Assembly Members hosted community conversations about the municipality’s budget, funding history, and current challenges, including the Our Muni, Our Budget workshops presented by Assembly Chair Brawley and Member Baldwin Day, community budget presentations by Assembly Members Goecker and Martinez, and the upcoming North Anchorage Talks Budget sessions hosted by Assembly Member Sydney Scout.
The Fiscal Future Summit builds on those conversations as part of the Assembly's Fiscal Future Initiative to engage the community in long-term education and strategic visioning about the municipal budget. The Fiscal Future Initiative will continue into 2027.
