BUDGETING TO BRING YOUR TEAM TO SUMMIT
Budgeting so that your entire incoming board can attend Leadership Summit 2009 is an investment that will set your chapter on the path for success. Every member taking part in the event multiplies the experience, knowledge and ideas obtained from attending.
Bringing your members together as a team and sharing the wealth are keys to building a strong chapter. The President and President-Elect are provided with paid travel and registration, and any additional members may attend at the expense of the chapter.
The average cost to send a member to Summit, depending on the location in the United States or Canada, is $930. This includes a round trip flight to Chicago (on average, $340), two nights stay at the Westin (AMA rate $148), and Summit registration ($310). You can further cut down expenses by sharing rooms!
