Out-of-State Travel

If the SRC-B has selected you to attend a conference out of state, the staff liaison, Susan Kusz will coordinate with you and make your hotel reservation and register you for the conference.

You will be required to pay your own air travel and some other expenses (baggage, ground transportation, meals) in advance of reimbursement.

The receipts for these items should be kept in the event they are needed for submission for reimbursement.
