Reimbursements to Board members, Committee chairs, and others as approved by the Board, are made on submission of a Reimbursement Form, with associated receipts. The form should include information regarding the date, names of persons involved, nature of business, and where to send payment.

Budgeted Expenses: Expenses projected in the annual budget proposal that the Board has reviewed and approved.
Unbudgeted Expenses: Expenses that have not received prior approval from the Board, including expenses in excess of those approved in the budget proposal for a particular activity, and are treated as follows:
Board members are reimbursed for travel and lodging (meals excluded) to quarterly Board meetings (with the exception of the meeting that is scheduled at the annual general meeting for which only one night of lodging may be reimbursed, and no travel), as well as other expense items approved during the budget process.
Committee chairs and members are reimbursed for budgeted expenses used in the course of performing committee tasks.
In the event that a scheduled meeting (Board, task force, committee) ends two hours prior to its originally scheduled time, SCA will pay up to $50.00 of the cost of changing travel arrangements. Should a meeting run past its scheduled time, thereby causing a change in travel plans, SCA will reimburse the entire fee incurred. SCA requests that the most economical means of transportation are obtained and that the arrival/departure times are planned to accommodate the scheduled meeting times.
Mileage reimbursement will conform to the IRS tax code.
Committee chairs must review and sign all reimbursement forms submitted by committee members.
