Local 9 - All Standing Committees
All future requests received from local 9
standing committees should
include plans to use their committee funds
to pay for milaege and daily expenses, when submitting a request
for support from the local. If a committee
does not have sufficient funds to cover the entire milaege and daily
expense cost at the time of their request,
then the local may cover the remaining portion of their request.
The board reccomended that this request
be granted was concurred in, and the motion
was approved at the July 11, 2017, membership
meeting.
