Conference Honorarium
Answer
POLICY
In addition to Policy GOV102(6): Trustees who would like to attend a relevant library conference shall receive from the library an honorarium. The honorarium will only cover the conference dates and times and not include travel time (see Policy GOV102).
The honorariums are:
- $125 for four (4) hours or less
- $240 for more than four (4) hours
An honorarium will be paid for one trustee; the board will send only one trustee per year if the budget allows. If more than one trustee wants to attend, the board will vote on who will attend. Following each conference, trustees will be required to report, in writing, to the board and library manager the information the trustee acquired during their attendance and how it may pertain to supporting the trustees and library best practices.
Relevant conferences are:
- Library Association of Alberta (LAA) Conference
- Northern Lights Library System (NLLS) Conference
