Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to notify executive branch agencies that:
- agencies are no longer required to complete the “Conference Sponsorship Justification” form and submit it to the Department of Management (DOM) for approval, 
- each executive branch agency, excluding elected officials and the state Board of Regents (Iowa Code 8B.1(12).), needs to provide a complete list of the conferences that the agency anticipates participating in during the next fiscal year to DOM by October1, and 
- any changes, such as additions or deletions from the original submission, should be sent to DOM for notification purposes only, they do not need approval.
