Reimbursement of expenses incurred during travel to and from a Children’s Commission sponsored/hosted event or meeting must conform to the travel guidelines set out by the Commission. Individuals seeking reimbursement are advised to review the travel guidelines prior to making any travel arrangements in order to ensure that travel expenses can be considered.
