Travel out-of-state ok’d

Members of the St. Joseph County Board of Commissioner have OK’d an out-of-state travel request by a Circuit Court employee.

By unanimous vote Tuesday, commissioners approved Judge Paul Stutesman’s recommendation that Kathryn Griffin attend the National Association for Court Management’s annual conference in San Antonio.

The six-night conference begins July 13 and Griffin is attending as president of the Michigan Association for Circuit Court Administrators.

The only expenses incurred by the county will be meals, transportation to and from the airport, and airport parking.
