Business Meeting Expense Reimbursement
For Annual and Midyear Meetings, the Association is required to reserve a significant block of guest rooms at the headquarters hotel as well as guarantee that members will use a large percentage of the reserved rooms. If we fail to use the contracted number of guest rooms, we pay a penalty. As a result, members who will be requesting reimbursement of expenses in conjunction with these meetings, must stay at the headquarters hotels. In the event the room block sells out, members having to seek alternate arrangements will be eligible to seek reimbursement pursuant to the Reimbursement Policy, provided the alternate reservation was secured after the headquarters hotel sold out. Reimbursement Forms will be distributed at the conclusion of each Business Meeting, including at the conclusion of the Assembly Meeting, and must be submitted within 45 days of the meeting.
Reimbursement Policy for Assembly, Standing Committees and Section Councils
