Leon County to Host Community Roundtable Discussion
on Federal Funding for Nonprofit Human Services
WHO: Leon County
WHAT: Community Roundtable
WHEN: Tuesday, April 11 at 8:30 a.m.
WHERE: Leon County Courthouse, 301 S. Monroe Street, 5th floor, Commission Chambers
Leon County will host a community roundtable discussion on the development of the upcoming federal budget and its potential impact on programs affecting local and regional nonprofit human service providers. This meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 11 at 8:30 a.m. in the Commission Chambers, located on the fifth floor of the Leon County Courthouse, 301 S. Monroe Street.
Local and regional nonprofit organizations play a significant role in our economy and in strengthening quality of life for Leon County citizens. In mid-March, the White House released a “skinny budget” proposal for FY 2018, which is intended to serve as the blueprint for a full budget request expected in May. The initial budget proposal includes significant cuts for, or elimination of, several federal agencies and programs that impact nonprofit organizations.
To identify the potential impacts of proposed programmatic reductions in these areas and to continue seeking ways to enhance collaboration to meet our community’s needs, Leon County will host the April 11 roundtable discussion with participation from a variety of local and regional nonprofit service providers.
For more information, please contact Andrew Johnson, Assistant to the County Administrator for Legislative and Strategic Initiatives, at (850) 606-5300 / JohnsonAn@LeonCountyFL.gov or Mathieu Cavell, Leon County Community & Media Relations, at (850) 606-5300 / cmr@LeonCountyFL.gov .
Please note: More than one member of the Board of County Commissioners may be in attendance at this meeting. Subjects, which may appear before the Board of County Commissioners, may be discussed. In such instance, this meeting would be declared a special meeting of the Board of County Commissioners.
