Travel Expenses

If you have been invited to a JSMF sponsored workshop or meeting, your travel expenses will be covered to attend. This includes:

  • Air fare (coach-class) or train fare
  • Lodging
  • Ground transportation
  • Meals

Air fare, lodging, ground transportation to and from the meeting site, and on-site meals are paid directly by JSMF. If you elect to make your own flight arrangements, you will be responsible for submitting itemized receipts for reimbursement, along with any other travel expenses, within 30 days of the close of the workshop. A reimbursement form will be provided in your meeting folder and/or will be sent by email. Reimbursement will occur 2-6 weeks following the close of the meeting.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. I have complicated travel arrangements. Should I use your travel agent? If so, how does reimbursement work?

  • We always recommend using our travel agent, Wendy Daniels, for travel arrangements unless the majority of your airfare is due to your other plans. If you decide to book your own travel, we will reimburse you for the cost of a round-trip ticket from your home location to the meeting location.

2. Is it ok if my spouse travels with me?

  • In many cases, it is not a problem if an additional person stays in your room, but you should contact us to be certain. In all instances, you are financially responsible for the airfare, meals, etc. for your spouse. If you are making your travel arrangements with our travel agent, it is possible for your flight (the invited guest) to be charged to JSMF and your companion's flight to be charged to your personal credit card. Be aware that some locations cannot accommodate companion travelers.
