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). The seven employees applied for and were selected by SSLLI to participate in the intensive and rewarding learning experience that required significant time, energy and commitment from participants and their libraries.
