um Dr Kent cartright who is the deputy director of The masb Who will facilitate um CBA 315 and at this time I'll turn it over to Dr Zachary Ross to maybe share any additional information about the requirement that we're meeting um this
evening for this financial Workshop that we'll be participating in thank you madam president as we know um we were very fortunate to work alongside the governor to receive received the debt relief um under Public Act
321 and alongside the requirements after receiving the debt relief from the bonds it was required that the board receive three trainings per year uh around
financial management there was not a specific guideline of what type of financial management and so as the board as considered what you would uh take place in in terms of workshops you had already attended so many um CBA
workshops under masb individually and so this Workshop was one that um was new it has been revised as Dr CT wght has um talked to me about it was one that has been very popular amongst board members
and so as we are moving alongside this year and we know with treasury there's a one component that we have not received terms of the funding but we didn't want the year to go so far along without at least starting that three part training
so this training is one that none of the board members had taken and it's been revised it's been well received and Dr cartright was um just so gracious to say I'll come there to have it to perform this training and so this is one that um
would go towards everyone will benefit all the board members and um he thought this would be beneficial so we are just so grateful that you're able to come to um provide this to the board and so it mple re so thank you for coming to it's
