CASE VI Travel Management Policies and Expense Guidelines for Conference Faculty Volunteers

  1. If a faculty member works within the advancement profession at an educational institution within District VI, we do not cover any expenses. Advancement professionals from within the district must register for the conference in order to be a speaker or panelist at the conference.
  1. If a faculty member is from outside of the district, we cover travel, meals and lodging expenses.
  • Faculty will be reimbursed for mileage or airfare. If traveling by air, faculty should book early and select the lowest possible fare. Airfare that is significantly above the lowest available will be reimbursed at the lower rate.
  • Faculty will be reimbursed for one night of lodging for each day they present. Hotel reservations will be made through the Arrangements Chair. If the faculty member chooses to stay an additional night, additional nights will be at the faculty member’s expense.
  • Faculty will be reimbursed for one day’s meal expenses per day of presenting. Meals that are offered by the conference (breakfast and lunch on Monday and Tuesday) will not be reimbursed unless they occur while the speaker is traveling.
  • Receipts for all travel expenses must be submitted to the district treasurer with 30 days of the conference.
  1. If a faculty member is an employee, consultant or paid speaker for a business partner, the partner must sponsor the conference at the Bronze level or above. We do not cover travel expenses or pay honorariums for business partners. Panelists or co-presenters must also sponsor at the Bronze level to speak at the conference.

A business partner is any entity that receives a business gain from participating in the conference. 

 Exceptions to these guidelines must be approved by the conference leadership team and/or Board. If you have questions, please contact the program chair.
