Terms of Participation
Cancellation and partial attendance
Each of our seminars is a significant investment in each of our participants. Because of this, and the high demand to participate with the 2010 Organization Fellowship, we expect all confirmed teams to attend and participate in full. Partial attendance is not permitted and will cause participants to be ineligible for travel support. If there is a concern about a team or participant's ability to fully participate, it is the responsibility of the team contact to make NAS aware prior to confirming their acceptance of the 2010 Organization Fellowship. Cancellations are not permitted after a team has confirmed their acceptance of a 2010 Organization Fellowship.
If a situation arises which prevents the full participation of a confirmed team member, a suitable substitution can be made with approval of the Seminar Director. If a suitable substitution cannot be made, a $75 fee will apply to cover the costs incurred in preparing materials for the participant.
Travel support
Travel support is available to participants from organizations operating
outside of the major metropolitan area in which a
seminar is being presented. An organization located in a community where we present seminars is eligible for financial support when traveling to a presentation in a different city.
Requesting travel support for seminars in 2010
To receive this assistance, simply answer "yes" to the appropriate question as you complete the 2010 Organization Fellowship application.
If your application is accepted you will receive confirmation of your registration
and travel support via email. No further application
is required.
Who's eligible
We can only reimburse participants who are able to attend the entire seminar. If you have any question about whether your schedule will make you ineligible for travel support, please contact us before the seminar for clarification.
What's covered, and what's not
Expenses up to the amount of $600 per
person will be reimbursed. Expenses over this limit
cannot be reimbursed. Acceptable expenses include
train or air transportation; hotel; rental car; gas,
tolls, and parking; and taxis. Only coach class
airfare can be reimbursed, and a maximum of one rental
car will be reimbursed per team. We reserve the right to refuse
expenses which are excessive compared to typical costs
for travel and lodging for the origination and destination
cities. Please see http://www.gsa.gov
for a general guideline of expenses you may anticipate
in your destination city.
Reimbursement process
Expense reimbursements will be made against your
actual receipts submitted to NAS. Each participant must submit the form provided and original receipts for all expenditures within 30 days following the seminar. If you need additional copies of the expense form they are available here:
