In this episode of the Tyler Tech Podcast, we examine what it really means to modernize public sector budgeting in today’s fast-changing world. Recorded live at the Tyler Connect conference in San Antonio, this conversation brings together three thought leaders helping governments drive more transparent, agile, and priority-based financial planning.

Chris Fabian, senior director of product strategy for priority based budgeting at Tyler; Liz Steward, vice president of marketing and research at Envisio; and Nick Mastronardi, CEO of Polco, discuss the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Rethinking Budgeting Initiative. Together, they explore how governments can align resources with community priorities, track impact through performance data, and close the feedback loop with meaningful resident engagement.

With real-world examples throughout the conversation, this episode spotlights how budgeting innovation is already taking shape — and how collaboration between technology providers and public finance leaders is driving meaningful progress.

Tune in to discover how priority-based budgeting, strategic planning, and data-informed decision-making are shaping a more resilient and trusted public sector.

This episode also features a spotlight on City Hall Selfie Day — a nationwide celebration of civic pride and local government heroes hosted by ELGL. Learn how to get involved on August 12 and show your support for public service in a creative and memorable way.
