Is anyone else finding themselves a bit frustrated by the IHCDA policy requiring board approval for out of state travel exceeding $1000? I don't think this amount has been changed in more than a decade. With the price of gas and lodging going up, should we ask that it be revisited?
I believe this policy originated with Joan Cochran and IFSSA. Perhaps IHCDA wouldn't even see a need for this requirement?

I was aware of the requirement the Board needed to approve out-of-state travel (for E.D. travel) or receive a board report but did not realize there was a 1K cap without board approval. Seems like this IHCDA requirement would nullify the report to the Board option given the expenses exceeded 1K.
I agree. I think its worth asking for a change. Basically, $1000 means that virtually ANY out of state travel must be approved. Unless it is a federal requirement, I'm not sure what the purpose is? My signing ability for financial purposes is $25,000 without board approval for everything else.
I think I'll send Cecelia an email asking her to clarify what HCDA policy is here. Perhaps simply asking the question will get someone thinking about why we have this.
