Thank you, Kathie, for lining this up for us.
I apologize to everyone for not paying enough attention to the
budget figures when we were planning for New Orleans. I did not
realize until I looked at the Excel sheet Stephen sent out that my
travel mileage reimbursement was about twice what was budgeted for
travel.
When Stephen called me to talk about the allocation of funds, I told
him that I felt my participation, especially in the planning, but
also because I was not in New Orleans until Friday night, was not as
much as I had wanted or hoped it would be. Therefore, I felt that
he had done the lion's share of the work and should get a larger
fee. I did ask that the fact I took a day off from my paid work to
be there be recognized with a fee of $100.
That is how he presented it, but now I think it would be better to
forego the fee amount and apply it to the travel to make us come in
closer to the budget and to be more equitable in how the money is
distributed.
I am looking forward to getting greater clarity about the Atlanta
events in June. Many thanks. ; } Eleanor B
