| RLS Recruitment Track
New to this year's RLS will be a Recruitment Track specifically for the VP Membership Recruitment. The RLS Recruitment Track will feature training and sessions specifically for the VP Membership Recruitment. Similar to Recruitment Symposiums of the past, this person will receive a complimentary registration to RLS and a travel reimbursement once they have successfully completed the program. If the VP Membership Recruitment cannot attend, an approved designee may participate in his place. Please contact Michelle Marchand, Director of Educational Programs, at marchand@deltau.org for approval. Travel Reimbursement Policy
One RLS Recruitment Track participant from each chapter (VP Recruitment or approved designee) will be reimbursed for travel from their chapter/colony location to the closest RLS location up to the pre-determined amount. Reimbursement checks will be mailed to you after March 3, 2013 and after successful completion of the entire Recruitment Track at RLS.
Driving
If your chapter/colony location is approximately a seven hour drive or less from an RLS location you will be expected to drive. You must arrive at the RLS hotel by 8:00 p.m. on Friday evening. You will be permitted to depart after 11:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. The cap for mileage reimbursement is set at the round trip mileage from your chapter/colony location to the closest RLS location. Mileage is reimbursed at 25 cents per mile. Please provide a map with the number of miles driven (ex. Google Maps or Mapquest) to Jana McClees at mcclees@deltau.org.
Flying
If your chapter/colony location is further than a seven hour drive to the closest RLS location, you are permitted to fly.
Flights must arrive into the major airport listed below by 7:00 p.m. on Friday evening. All departure flights must leave after 1:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Northeast - Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
West - San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
South - Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
Great Plains - Kansas City International Airport (MCI)
Midwest - Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
You must provide a copy of your itinerary/receipt to IHQ before reimbursement will be given. You can send your itinerary/receipt to mcclees@deltau.org.
The maximum reimbursement amount per person is determined by a four-week advance ticket purchase, with participant traveling from the closest major airport of the chapter/colony to the closest RLS location. IHQ will do a search of flights four weeks in advance of each RLS to set the flight reimbursement limits.
Please note that you are responsible for ground transportation between the airport and the RLS hotel.
