Stipend needs by invited participants were requested at the time of attendance confirmation and were confirmed in the travel email sent on June 24. If you have questions regarding your stipend request please contact Vanessa at vlester@nae.edu

Lodging Stipend
Your room during the course of the meeting, except for incidentals, will be direct-billed to the NAE. The lodging costs will be direct-billed beginning with check-in on September 10 and check-out on September 13. The meeting ends by noon on September 13, and we anticipate that all attendees will return home that afternoon. However, if you cannot return on Saturday due to flight schedules, a fourth night (September 13) will be covered at the Hyatt Regency, Newport Beach. Please complete the travel form by Monday, July 28.

Airfare Stipend
Please book your flights as soon as possible. Note that we will reimburse up to $500 for a round-trip ticket between your home city and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) or John Wayne-Orange County Airport (SNA) during the official meeting dates.  After the symposium, you will need to submit a travel expense report with your itinerary as well as proof of payment (For example, payment: MCxxxxxxxxxxxx0000).

NOTE: If your trip will incorporate travel to another city for other business or travel outside the immediate meeting dates, please contact Vanessa at vlester@nae.edu

Travel Expense Report

Only those requesting the airfare stipend need to submit an electronic travel expense report (eTER). If you only requested the hotel stipend, your hotel room is direct billed and you do not need to complete an eTER. The report must be submitted within 30 days. After the meeting, you will be sent instructions for submitting the eTER. Please be sure to save a copy of your airline receipt to submit with your eTER.
