Handbook
Appendix III: Policy on Funding Travel Requests
To respond equitably to any requests made to TS-SIS for funding to attend professional meetings, the following policy is adopted:
AALL/TS-SIS Members
Apart from the Educational Grants program (see Appendix VII), the TS-SIS will not fund the expenses incurred by members in participating in AALL Annual Meetings, institutes, workshops or other functions nor the costs of attending similar meetings of other professional associations. An exception to this policy may be made if the member is a scheduled speaker at an educational program, workshop or institute sponsored by AALL,
- and the AALL Education Committee cannot provide funding,
- and the member's parent institution cannot provide funding,
- and the TS-SIS Executive Board determines the member's participation is significant enough to underwrite some or all of the expenses.
Non-AALL Members
TS-SIS will not fund the expenses incurred by non-AALL members in attending AALL events. An exception to this policy may be made if the member is a scheduled speaker at an AALL educational event,
- and the AALL Education Committee cannot provide funding,
- and the TS-SIS Executive Board determines the individual's participation is significant enough to underwrite some or all of the expenses.
