The following is travel policy as outlined by the SDASCOE board:
Board meeting for officers, board members, committee chairs and guests invited by the president
Mileage round trip at the rate of $0.20 a mile below the prevailing county FSA rate rounded up to the nearest $0.01 and rate changes to be effective to match dates and government rates (we encourage sharing rides where feasible).
Rooms will be paid by SDASCOE. Members will be expected to share a room when possible. If the member wants a room by themselves or with another non-invited guest (spouse etc), SDASCOE will pay the equivalent of half the room.
Meals will be at the expense of the member except for an association sponsored breakfast or lunch with other invited dignitaries.
