Memorandum
Date: February 6, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Jenavive Herrington, Auditor Controller/Clerk
Subject: Approve travel exceeding 1,500 miles for Jenavive Herrington, Auditor Controller/Clerk, to attend the Annual GFOA Conference in Orlando, Florida,
from June 7-13, 2024
Executive Summary:
The Auditor’s Office is requesting approval to send Ms. Herrington to the annual Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) conference in June 2024. GFOA represents the entire United States and Canada. This annual conference is held in a different state each year, and it provides detailed training regarding federal, state/provincial, and local finance. The Auditor plans to attend each year because it is an opportunity to receive a wide breadth of training, CPE, and networking all within a one-week event. Although this training requires out-of-state travel, the benefit far outweighs any additional cost due to the event location.
Therefore, pursuant to 1.6 E of the County of Lake Travel Policy, we request your Board approve travel exceeding 1,500 miles, to facilitate Ms. Herrington accessing this valuable training conference.
