Stipend for President Elect -The RI Convention

 
The Club board of directors approved a new policy on Thursday, January 12th.  The motion to provide a stipend to the president elect, or board approved designee, to attend The Rotary International Convention annually in the amount up to $3,000 for International (outside the Continental USA) conventions or up to $2,000 for Domestic (inside the continental USA) conventions, which can be used for Travel, lodging, registration costs, meals, and other approved expenses.
 
This will be funded 100% from the club earnings and NOT from The Sun Prairie Rotary Foundation.
 
Attending the annual convention is a perfect way to experience Rotary’s internationality, exchange ideas with fellow members, and discover new avenues – and potential partners – for service.
