If you share accommodations (hotel room/Airbnb) and pay a portion of the total expenses, you will need to provide adequate proof in order for the expense to be eligible for reimbursement. This can be accomplished either by obtaining your own receipt (in your name) for your portion of the costs (most hotels can accommodate this request as long as you mention it at check in), or by providing a copy of the full receipt along with proof of payment of your portion. This proof can include canceled checks, electronic funds transfer confirmations (e.g. PayPal or Venmo). Contact Kristi for assistance in determining adequate forms of proof.
If multiple attendees travel together in one attendee's personal vehicle, only the owner of the vehicle is eligible to claim mileage for personal vehicle use. Reimbursement to other passengers for mileage costs is not allowed.
