Internationally Funded Visits (taken from the RMT Handbook)

The Education Coordinator, in conjunction with the Membership Coordinator, is responsible for scheduling the internationally funded visits.  Eighteen (18) internationally funded education visits to chartered chapters is allocated to each region (each fiscal year).  The focus of internationally funded visits is in-Region personnel providing education in both the musical and administrative areas, membership development, assessment of the health, stability and/or needs of the chorus, building relationship and connection with regional choruses and their members, and for discovering and developing potential leaders.  Persons outside the region (faculty, judges, etc.) are not eligible to be reimbursed using internationally funded visits.

Each member of the regional management team has differing areas of expertise, the region will determine which of the coordinators or her in-Region designee will make each visit. (This does not mean you can't request a regional facilitator or educator.  It means you need approval.  Use of Regional Faculty is encouraged, but you aren't limited to them.)

To receive prompt reimbursement for internationally funded visits, please comply with the following:

Process to obtain a visit:
1. Chorus contacts Education Coordinator for a visit. Approval must be granted PRIOR to visit.
Name of the coach needs to be provided at the time of request.
2. A confirmation of the approval is sent from the Education Coordinator to the chorus and the
Finance Coordinator.
3. Chorus coaches. Chorus pays the coach for all expenses – fee, travel, etc.
4. Chorus sends email with coaches travel info to Finance Coordinator. Note: only mileage and
tolls are reimbursed. Tolls require a receipt.
5. Finance Coordinator sends request to Tulsa.
6. When approved, funds are sent to Finance Coordinator.
7. Finance Coordinator sends check to chorus
