What constitutes “participate in State approved training”?
Board members are required to participate in training on their responsibilities within one year of appointment to a public authority board. The Authority Budget Office recognizes a board member as meeting this requirement upon the completion of a full curriculum from a State approved trainer. The Authority Budget Office has issued Policy Guidance 06-01 with additional information on the criteria and the curriculum that must be met to satisfy this requirement. It is the intent of the Authority Budget Office to provide board members with as much flexibility and convenience as possible to meet this requirement.
