Travel Equalization
DOWNLOAD TRAVEL EQUALIZATION FORM (PDF)
One of our aims as plans are made for General Conference is to ensure that everyone who can possibly attend will be there. As in prior Conferences, an equalization plan is being used so that everyone pays approximately the same amount for travel expenses to General Conference 2008.
Each lay delegate and appointed pastor is eligible to participate in the travel equalization plan. This includes members of conference (ordained ministers) who are appointed and serve as unpaid volunteers at a local church. It also includes ministerial candidates who are appointed and are volunteers at a local church.
Each participant, as defined above, will pay a travel equalization fee of $210. All participants, as well as retired pastors attending the conference, will be reimbursed for travel expenses from the travel fund. Reimbursement will be based on the least expensive travel alternative (airfare, train, bus and/or mileage from your location). Mileage will be reimbursed at the rate of $0.12 per kilometre. Please arrange car pools where possible.
The deadline for remitting travel funds is February 29, 2008. Reimbursement for airline tickets will be provided prior to Conference subject to providing an invoice or receipt (please be sure receipt shows the G.S.T amount) and subject to prior payment of the travel equalization fee. Expense claim forms will be provided at General Conference.
