Meet your new president-elect and executive board.
The GFOA is governed by an 18-member Executive Board, which consists of 15 members-at-large serving staggered three-year terms, the current president, the previous year's president, and the president-elect. At the association's annual meeting in Anaheim, California, in June, members voted for a slate of nominees for president-elect and five new members-at-large. Each of these individuals is profiled below.
PRESIDENT-ELECT KENNETH L. RUST
Interim Chief Administrative Officer, City of Portland, Oregon
During his 14 years as a GFOA member, Rust has served in various leadership positions. He began his Executive Board term in 2004 and is currently an ex-officio member of the GFOA's Committee on Economic Development and Capital Planning. He is a past chair of that committee and previously served on the GFOA'S Committee on Governmental Debt Management. He is also past chair of the GFOA's Technology Resource Group. He has been an instructor of the GFOA's training seminars--Advanced Topics in Debt Management; Planning and Sale of Municipal Bonds; and Capital Budgeting--and has authored articles for Government Finance Review. Rust was co-chair of the fund-raising committee of the Portland Local Conference Committee for the 1996 annual conference.
He is a member of the Oregon Municipal Finance Officers Association and received Oregon MFOA's "Outstanding Contribution to Public Finance" award in 2001 for efforts associated with reforming the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System.
Rust served three terms on the State of Oregon's Municipal Debt Advisory Commission and pioneered the use of pension obligation bonds in the State of Oregon. He developed the successful Resource Cities partnership between Portland and a city in Thailand and is leading the city's project team on a partnership with two cities in Ethiopia. He is currently serving on Portland's Projects Council Board of Innovation Partnership, a nonprofit seeking innovative solutions to Oregon's persistent problems.
