Committees, Sections and Conferences
A. Attendance at National Meetings
The chair of a committee, section or conference of the Association, or his or her designate, shall be eligible to have reimbursed all of his or her reasonable travel expenses incurred to attend a national meeting of that committee, section or conference provided that the expense is not otherwise reimbursed to the claimant by the National Association. Prior approval is required.
Reimbursement for travel to a national meeting of a committee, section or conference shall be issued only after the chair has attended the national meeting and submitted a written report to the Executive Director.
B. Local Meetings and Other Expenses
If Council has approved expenses for a committee, section or conference, its local meetings shall be held at the most convenient and least expensive location. In many cases, teleconferencing is the more efficient and cost-effective option and shall be used as the preferred meeting method of all committees, sections and conferences.
Whenever possible, in-person meetings shall be held at the location of and during the mid-winter meeting of the Association.
Expenses incurred by a committee, section or conference, other than travel expenses to attend a national meeting, are limited to $300 annually, unless otherwise pre-approved by the Table Officers.
