Training and Convention Fiscal Policy

It is the policy of the San Fernando Valley Branch to encourage members to attend training and policy making events for the purpose of participating in the decision making and learning leadership techniques that will benefit the branch.

All members attending will be compensated for registration and lunch, if included in the program.

The branch will compensate the incoming president for the following expenses:

1.      Early registration, excluding meals paid for at the time of registration

2.      Per diem of $100 per day to cover meals and lodging for up to two nights

3.      $0.40/mile by car and parking at the site or airfare (whichever is less)

The branch will compensate the outgoing president for the cost of early registration.

The branch will compensate the incoming president for the following expenses:

1.      Early registration, excluding meals paid for at the time of registration

2.      Per diem of $100 per day to cover meals and lodging for up to four nights, or five nights if the convention is on the East Coast

3.      $0.40/mile by car and parking at the site or airfare (whichever is less)

In the event that a office which is entitled to compensation is held by more than one person, and more than one of the people who hold that office attend a convention, the compensation will be split among these officers.  This does not apply to District Leadership Training.

If the incoming president cannot attend a convention, the Board of Directors may select a substitute who will receive compensation.

Any person compensated by the branch is expected to attend all scheduled meetings and to report on the events, conclusions and items of note to the Branch.

Any compensation for other events or other people will be decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on the funds available.
