For the 2022 Synod Assembly: Please remember that travel arrangements must be booked independently. The reimbursement for travel this year will be capped at $250 per voting member..
Voting Members from the Western Conference will be reimbursed for airfare. The Registration Committee may be contacted for information on when it is best to book airfares so as to attain the cheapest fares possible.
Voting Members from the Eastern and Central Conferences will be reimbursed for mileage to the Port of New York, at a maximum of one mileage reimbursement per congregation, to promote carpooling and environmental stewardship.
Also, all Voting Members of this Assembly are required to be in attendance during each plenary session. Synod Policy requires travel reimbursement be withheld from those who have not attended each session (with the exception of reported and excused absences, such as illness). In fairness to all, voting member attendance is taken by the registration committee at the beginning of each session for the duration of the event.
