Current bylaw reads:
Keynote speakers who are not PSI members will be paid $50 and have their room and meals provided. Non-member workshop presenters will receive $25. Members will not be paid for presenting a program.
We will propose we change this so that reimbursement does not include the cost of a room. Officers may offer to share a room with speakers at their own discretion, but this will not be required.
The new bylaw, if approved, would read:
Keynote speakers who are not PSI members will be paid $50 and have their meals and registration provided. Non-member workshop presenters will receive $25. Members will not be paid for presenting a program.
Rationale:
Our last keynote speaker was well-received but cost $200. As we are a non-profit, we want to be careful how we spend our funds. Cutting out the cost of a hotel room will save us an estimated $100, which could cover 4 other speakers, or could be put toward other projects.
Please bring your thoughts to Spring Fling when we discuss the matter. Thanks!
