Council of Chapters Traveling Courses
The ASA Traveling Course provides low cost, local courses for ASA Chapters. The Council of Chapters sponsors this activity by covering speaker travel expenses, honoraria, and course materials. The Chapter in turns covers advertising, local arrangements (including hotel and local travel) and registration ($25 for each attendee or $500 to go back to the ASA).
The Traveling Course committee, made up of at least one member of each of the six Chapter Districts and ASA staff liaisons, chooses the local Chapters and works with the speakers and Chapters to select dates for each course. Each course is typically given more than once. The courses are awarded according to geographical proximity to keep travel cost low, with special consideration given to smaller Chapters and Chapters that have not had the course recently.
The 2010 course offerings are in the Spring of 2010. The deadline for application is January 31, 2010 to allow as much flexibility in scheduling with time for local planning as possible.
