ISSUE
In accordance with Central San's Travel Policy, B P 008, the Board must approve Board Members' proposed
attendance at conferences in advance for each year.
BACKGROUND
At its meeting on November 20, 2008, the Board voted to amend the Travel Policy to state that Board Member
conference attendance will be approved by the Board on a yearly basis in advance to ensure transparency.
The attached list represents proposed attendances at various industry -related conferences throughout the
upcoming calendar year.
I n the event that a Board Member wishes to attend a conference other than as shown on Attachment 1,
separate Board approval will be required. The conference attendance being approved at this meeting is for
planning purposes only and does not represent a commitment that a Board Member will attend.
A request has been made to add the Essential Leadership Skills Certification Program and governance
training that CSDA offers through their Special District Leadership Academy to the annual conference list.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
The Board may deny the approval of the conference attendance or provide other direction to staff.
