8. Are you submitting a Funding Request? ___X___Yes __ ____No

If yes, please submit with this report. – submitted to Leslie Giles-Smith on 12/20/16

9. Assistance you need from the Coordinator of S/R/Cs and/or the CRLA Board?

Some funding for our Keynote speaker will help defer some of the expenses and help us break-even. We had limited choices for venues and could not secure a college campus to reduce the costs. The Sheraton was our best option which is located close to Sara Keenan the President Elect. There are minimum food requirement expenditures.

Please email this completed form and any attachments

to the Coordinator of S/R/Cs so that it may be placed on the CRLA website.
