Art,
Currently, director's expenses for telephone, postage, and printing are the only items reimbursed. A proposal for a "stipend" to cover actual travel, and possibly hotel room expenses, for BOD meetings and the AGM, with an annual limit of $1,000.00 per director ($500.00 per meeting), seems like it might pass.
The JCNA Biennial held in Stratton, VT in 1997 was not attended by either the president or the vice president, a fact that greatly upset the host club, JANE. At the 1998 AGM a proposal to pay the president's coach airfare (or equivalent) to AGMs and Biennials, was passed to preclude a repeat of that situation. Added in JCNA Corporate Policy was the requirement that a condition of being president would be attendance at these meetings.
As president, I have taken advantage of this rule. I only point this out to show that there is a precedent for reimbursement of some travel expense.

Re.: Director's Expenses
Art,
Aside from the AGM where we hold a BOD meeting the previous day, there is
only one other annual meeting, the Fall BOD Meeting. That said, my
feeling is that only actual transportation and room expenses should be
considered reimbursable.

Re.: Director's Expenses
Gary,
How many meeting per year do the JCNA Board hold,I am not sure, whatever 1,000 US Dollars should go a long way to cover the bulk of the costs. The flights for most people are the biggest item with Hotels being a little less.
