Summary Explanation/Background
THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THE ACCOUNTING DIVISION, AND THE LIBRARIES DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Broward County Libraries Division requests authorization for seven employees to travel to Tallahassee, Florida from July 11 - 13, 2024, to attend the 2024 Sunshine State Library Leadership Institute (SSLLI) Graduation Ceremony (Exhibit 1).
