Legislators Recognize the Value of GTS Services
During the 2003 session, legislators included the following language in the Omnibus State Government Finance bill:
[TRAINING SERVICES.] During the biennium ending June 30, 2005, state executive agencies must consider using services provided by the government training service before contracting with other outside vendors for similar services.
We appreciate this demonstrated support of our work with state & local governments over the past 27 years
and look forward to exploring possibilities with others who may be interested.
