Additional Comments or Questions

Compensation

Please indicate your available honorarium amount for the speaker, designated in U.S. dollars. Note that speakers are often willing to work with events on honorarium amounts, but knowing an estimate up front helps our speakers make decisions about time away from work, family and ministry to invest in ministry to your organization. Note that an honorarium is separate from and in addition to travel expenses. If you are working with a budget limit inclusive of travel and honorarium, please indicate that accordingly.

Accommodations and Meals

The sponsoring organization will provide and/or pay for lodging and meals for the FYI speaker during the event. These may be provided directly by the sponsoring organization or reimbursed upon notification of such expenses. Unless otherwise agreed upon, lodging will consist of a clean non-smoking hotel room, single occupancy.
