  • Lisa K mentioned - Section 2: Travel DASG Travel Funds are to be used for only DASG Constituents who have paid their student body fees along with their Advisors. The DASG may fund up to $5,000 for a single conference in which funding shall not exceed $500 per person for registration fees, publicly accessible transportations, lodging, and meals not provided by the conference. Due to the fact that the DASG Senate is its own sole funding source the DASG Senate shall be exempt from these travel funding limits and restrictions. DASG will only reimburse publicly-accessible transportation costs between transit centers, lodging, and conference sites. Travel expenses must include detailed receipts in order to be reimbursed. Upon request, at a mutually-agreed upon time, a presentation to the DASG Senate must be given by students
    that attended the conference reporting on what they learned and how they benefit from attending.
