PEMAC is a non profit professional association with a history of personal sacrifices and contributions that have brought the Association to where it is today.
We continue to be committed to ensuring the most cost effective use of member’s dues therefore every effort should be made to combine PEMAC travel with PEMAC employer-sponsored travel where reasonable and practical. Limited funding has been budgeted to subsidize volunteer travel, as necessary, for the following purposes, listed in priority order:
- PEMAC members whose abstracts have been selected for MainTrain. The goal here is to increase the number of practitioner presentations at MainTrain.
- Individuals receiving awards at MainTrain.
- PEMAC Directors and Chapter Leaders to attend an annual face to face meeting.
- PEMAC volunteers to give presentations at associated events on behalf of PEMAC Preference will be given to individuals who have not submitted PEMAC travel expenses in previous year(s).
Procedure:
Application: email the Request for Travel Assistance Form to the Executive Director as soon as possible in advance of the intended travel.
Requests must be approved by the Executive Director and one member of the Executive Committee before expense claims will be paid. Expense claim form will be supplied when a request is approved (if not, please request one).
Rates: Reasonable hotel, meals, and airfare expenses will be reimbursed at cost. Personal vehicle mileage rates will be indexed to the Revenue Canada “automobile allowance rates”. For 2022 those rates are:
61¢ per kilometre for the first 5,000 kilometres driven; and
55¢ per kilometre driven after that.
Reimbursement: Complete the expense reimbursement form, attach receipts and email to accounting@pemac.org
