The benefits of utilizing the services of the Shared Services Section would be in the form of cost
savings and efficient use of time. If your agency has a need for the services provided but does
not have the staff or the funding to hire additional staff, the Shared Services Section can provide

agency, while taking the burden off current staff will leave significant time for the agencies more
pressing duties.
