Travel
Travel expenses (airfare, ground transportation, and/or mileage) are pooled among the Sections. The expenses for each registrant are initially paid for by their Section. After the event, Sections will report their travel expenses. The amounts are added together and then divided by the total number of registrants. This amount is billed (or reimbursed) to each Section based on how many registrants come from their Section. This method spreads the expense evenly among the Sections, making it equitable regardless of where the participants travel from to Indianapolis. Individuals should have their Section reimburse them for their airline ticket upon purchase. Sections then submit those expenses as part of the pool. This way, no individual is waiting until after the event for reimbursement of a ticket they purchased themselves.
 
Hotel Rooms
Hotel sleeping room costs are not pooled. ACA has reserved a block of rooms. Participants will phone and reserve their own room.  Sections should arrange for the payment for the rooms of their participants.  We have negotiated a very reasonable room rate of $114 plus state & local taxes per night for a single or double.
The "guarantee/cut-off" date on reservations for this rate has been extended to 6:00 pm, September 19th. Please be sure to register by that date..
 
Planning Committee
The planning committee has begun its work for this event. They will be asking for Section input into the development of the event.
