Procedure for Reimbursement of Speaker Travel Expenses
Non-member speakers will be reimbursed for round-trip mileage at the rate of $.40 per mile.
As a non-profit, the WGRI does not use the IRS guidelines for reimbursement of businesses. The speaker may consult with a tax preparer on how to deduct the difference as an expense.
Speakers driving more than 60 miles to the meeting will be housed and have meals with a member and brought to the meeting.
Members, as speakers, will not be reimbursed for mileage to or from the meeting. As a member, they would assume this cost to attend the meeting.
A check for travel reimbursement will be included with the speaker fees and given to the speaker from the WGRI treasurer at the conclusion of the meeting.
This procedure for reimbursement will begin September 2018 with speaker letters of agreement formulated for 2018-2019 WGRI meeting year.
