Once registration is open for the annual conference, this statement will serve as blanket approval by Extension unit leader Jackie Wilkins for the business purpose of attending the 2020 OSU Extension virtual annual conference to participate in organization business and professional development opportunities. This meets the requirement by Business and Finance for unit leader approval for all memberships, registrations, and professional development engagements while the university is still operating under discretionary spending restrictions. Please consult with your local finance team to determine the appropriate source of funding; and be sure to retain your receipt with supervisor approval and remit a copy to your financial reconciler for records retention.
