Request by the Sheriff’s Office for approval to renew membership in the Grant Professionals Association and to join the National Grant Management Association.

Grant funding helps county agencies pay for programs and equipment without relying only on local tax dollars. Belonging to professional associations gives grant staff access to training, tools, and networks that can improve how the county wins and manages that money.

The Sheriff's Office is asking Commissioners Court to approve two things: renewing its existing membership in the Grant Professionals Association, and signing up for a new membership in the National Grant Management Association. Both are standard professional organizations for people whose jobs involve grants.
