What Are My Attendance Obligations?

All attendees will be required to attend a day of meetings. Attendees must complete a program evaluation specifying how they and their respective HBAs benefited from attending; this includes what they found most beneficial and areas for improvement.

Travel Stipend and Reimbursement Information

Funding of up to $1,255* is provided to all registered attendees. Reimbursements will be made based on actual dollars spent on airfare, lodging, ground transportation, and a predetermined food allowance for meals not included in the event programming. Stipends are earmarked for first-time attendees.

How to Apply
