That's right. The check is $50, And breakfast can be more than the per diem You are correct. I sit corrected. What was I thinking!!!! .............................................. In 1971 I went to work for General Motors as a traveling man - going to troubled dealerships and finding solutions to their problems. Great job! The per diem was $100.00 for personal food and expenses, but if you took a dealer or any of his employees to lunch or dinner, you kept the receipt and that was paid outside of the per diem, plus 15% for tip. You were expected to have $200.00 in company cash in your pocket at all times, just in case... You got a car, a credit card and the company was available 24/7 to book and pay for any flight you needed - You decided. As I said, I could have lived on the expense account in those days. But that was 40+ years ago. Now that the President owns General Motors, the field staff probably have to pay the government per diem, but that's another story. Board members are not employees, they are volunteers and benefits are not part of the package. BUT - possible we ought to take another look at this and support those who work for the club so that they can come closer to even for their efforts.
