In the budget distributed last meeting, the following events are listed as to be paid for by the Riley fund:
1. Saturday bag lunch ($2500) 2. Thursday keynote speaker fees, transportation, and hospitality ($6000) 3. Thursday night event catering ($5500) 4. Wednesday reception refreshments ($2800) 5. Strike tour buses ($3000) 6. Thursday night event buses ($2500)
A reminder from the Riley committee, with whom I just met and to whom I am answerable for the funds: We cannot spend Riley funds on anything that is not both FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, and the Riley logo must be prominently featured on/at events they fund.
I'm not sure what the status of #3 and #6 are, but I think we had decided on Good Will and X-Cues? We can't use this money for Good Will because of the cover charge.
Nor can we use it for #1 unless we give free lunches to everyone on the bus tour (not just conference registrants).
And we can't use it for #4 or #5 if there is any preferential access to spaces for conference registrants.
