Since I've had one question arise already, let me clarify one thing. If you are attending the Dayton Hamvention on your own and would like to volunteer in the ARRL Expo area, you are most welcome to do so and I know Bob Inderbitzen would welcome the help. It's just not required. The League has never (that I know of) turned down a qualified, capable volunteer even when we're not paying expenses!! 73 Joel W5ZN -----Original Message----- From: Joel Harrison [mailto:w5zn@arrl.org] Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 7:56 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:13892] Travel to Dayton Hamvention at League Expense NOT Authorized I want to make sure everyone understands the travel policy for attending this year's Dayton Hamvention as it relates to League expense. Even though we are producing another "ARRL Expo" at Dayton, it is NOT an ARRL National Convention this year. Therefore, travel reimbursement at League expense is not authorized and there will be no reimbursement for expenses related to your attendance even if it were to be charged to your division allocation. The only Director authorized to attend at League expense without special approval is the Great Lakes Division Director who has the fortune of having it in his back yard. As was the case last year, staff has been assigned to cover the Expo area. Of course, this doesn't mean you can't attend, it just means it can't be on the League's nickel. Just wanted to make sure everyone understands so there isn't any misunderstanding down the road. 73 Joel W5ZN
