Board of Directors Meeting - Travel Reimbursement Guidelines
It is our policy to reimburse voting members of the EIA Board and Committees necessary and ordinary travel expenses for meetings. This policy extends to Public Entity representatives to EIA Committees.
For the upcoming EIA Board meeting, we will reimburse:
All other non-voting Board and Committee members are welcome to attend at their own expense.
As you make your travel arrangements for the upcoming meeting, please keep this travel policy in mind. To assist you in your travel preparation, we have put together the following guidelines which should apply to most of our members. We realize that some members will be coming quite a distance and it may be appropriate to make an exception to these guidelines for special circumstances. Please contact Puneet Behl, CFO, in advance of the meeting, if you would like to request an exception.
