Contract: Leadership Development Support Services (Shari Burgess)
end

AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute a 6-month independent contract and associated disbursements with Shari Burgess to provide ongoing Leadership Development Training for UTA in the not to exceed amount of $24,999.

BACKGROUND:
This contract purchases training and development services to continue UTA’s Leadership Pathways classes that are currently in process. This contract allows Shari to train UTA employees virtually and to help with knowledge share and onboarding of UTA’s new Leadership Development Trainer and her replacement position.

DISCUSSION:
Both trainers for the leadership development courses have left UTA in a span of 30 days with no one who can step in and keep the leadership development program moving forward. Shari Burgess is able to work as an independent contractor for UTA to keep the program going and train her replacement. Without her help, the program would be paused and her replacement would not receive the proper training and transition of that role. The replacement for Shari will be in place and fully trained at the expiration of this contract.
