CoSA will reimburse travel to the annual meeting for one person per state or territory that has paid at least $2,750 in dues for FY2022, up to a maximum of 50% of the dues paid. Representatives receiving reimbursement will be expected to attend both the CoSA Work Session and the CoSA Business Meeting.
The CoSA Travel Reimbursement Policy outlines eligibility for reimbursement and procedures to follow to receive reimbursement. Those who are eligible for reimbursement should complete the CoSA Reimbursement Form and send it along with ALL receipts to CoSA staff within 30 days after returning from the conference. Please scan and email your reimbursement forms to Lisa Johnston.
Reimbursements are limited to actual expenses incurred, up to a maximum of 50% of dues paid, for the following:
- Transportation to and from the meeting in accord with the general provisions governing transportation in the CoSA Travel Reimbursement Policy;
- Lodging for three nights (at the conference rate); and
- Meal expenses at the rate of $79 per day - including incidentals (based on the General Services Administration (GSA) rate schedule). Meal expenses for the first and last day of travel will be reimbursed at the rate of $59.25 per day.
Most state and territorial representatives eligible for reimbursement will receive coverage for up to three days of lodging and meal expenses. Exceptions will be made for unusual circumstances such as flight schedules that require an extra night at the conference site in order to participate in CoSA meetings.
