I AM A CHAPTER ALUMNUS VOLUNTEER. IS THERE REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY KARNEA EXPENSES?
Division pays registration.
Division presidents will provide the Central Office a list of approved volunteers whose Karnea registration will be covered by the division. Volunteers are responsible for registering by the May 1 deadline.

Contact your Division President regarding potential reimbursement for hotel room costs.

If you wish to room with another alumni volunteer, please contact that alumnus and make just one hotel reservation. Alumni volunteers are responsible for making their own hotel reservation, whether you are rooming alone, with your spouse/guest, or if you and other volunteers decide to room together.

(There is no reimbursement for travel expenses to Pittsburgh.)
