Travel arrangements will be made by Sheila Williams or the travel agent of the organization / guild, with Sheila's agreement on dates of travel, routes, airline etc. (Southwest Airlines is preferred whenever possible). 

In order to secure the most economical air transportation, Sheila must be provided with all necessary information about exact dates and times of workshops and other events at least 90 days prior to the first scheduled event on the trip which includes your events.  Please keep in mind that you may not be the first group on her itinerary, and you may be required to provide this information more than 90 days prior to your events.  If your failure to provide this information results in increased travel expenses, your group will be solely responsible for paying the difference in cost.

EXPENSES:  All travel expenses will be borne by the guild /organization. These expenses include:

LODGING: Name of hotel or motel:_____________________________________________________
Street address: ________________________________________________________________________
City and Zip Code: _____________________________________________________________________
Phone: _________________________________ Reservation # ___________________________________

AGREEMENT OF PROGRAM CHAIR TO DISTRIBUTE THIS INFORMATION: The program chairperson understands that he/she may not be the person doing airport pickups, preparing meals, and setting up class and lecture rooms. Therefore, the program chairperson agrees to pass on the information contained in this Confirmation of Understanding to all of the group members, hostesses and caterers, etc. in charge of these activities.

If Sheila travels with her husband Raymond Donegan.  The guild/organization will not be responsible for his expenses.  In the case of hotels that have an extra charge for a second person in the room, Sheila will pay all extra charges.


CANCELLATIONS:

The Organization may cancel a workshop 30 days prior to an event due to insufficient enrollment at any time prior to the purchase of non- refundable airline tickets, or any other expenses incurred by Sheila Williams.   If a Lecture or workshop is canceled due to insufficient enrollment, Sheila Williams must be notified before incurring any expenses.  If a workshop is canceled after the purchase of airline tickets, the guild will be responsible of paying for the tickets.  If a workshop is canceled, and coming to your group for fewer workshops or lectures than originally agreed upon in this contract will cause economic hardship for Sheila Williams, she reserves the right to cancel the remainder of the contracted workshops / lectures. If your workshop cancels in the middle of a multi-venue tour, your group will be responsible for covering Sheila's daily minimum fee of $700.00.

Other workshop / lecture commitments made by Sheila Williams in your area on this same trip, shall be cleared with the guild /organization representative, with travel expenses to be shared if other teaching venues are included in my travel itinerary.

Sharing Expenses: When expenses are shared by several groups, expenses will be split for groups having similar programs.   If groups sharing expenses will have disproportionately more or disproportionately less events than other groups, expenses will be apportioned fairly.  Each group will be charged a percentage of total airfare, parking, tolls, and mileage, as well as meals, and lodging on rest and travel days.  Individual groups will be responsible for lodging and meals on the days I am working for them.  In order to simplify accounting, current IRS Per Diem Rates will be assessed for meals.


A signed copy of this letter of understanding must be returned to Sheila Williams before a firm commitment can be made.  

If your group would like to reserve future dates, but has not yet booked a venue or made decisions on which workshops to schedule, a copy of the this agreement can be use as a preliminary agreement on dates to reserve the time in Sheila's schedule.  A completed copy of this contract must subsequently be forwarded at a later date and at least 60 days before the scheduled workshops/lectures. Contracts that have not arrived by  60 days prior to the scheduled dates are subject to cancellation by Sheila.  Airline tickets will not be purchased until a contract is completed. 

The Guild/Organization will provide the name of a second person in your organization who can be contacted in the event that the organizer/program chair is not available. 

I have read the above letter of agreement, and I understand and agree to it's terms:
