ARTICLE X -- Expenses Reimbursement

All Officers are entitled to immediate reimbursement of money spent directly for authorized operating expenses of the organization or show. All of the reasonable expenses of having a scheduled or special CCA Board Meeting shall be considered "reasonable Club expenses" if they are approved by a majority vote of the Board either after the meeting has been held or are part of and in compliance with a budget for that meeting already approved by the Board. Such expenses may include but are not limited to meeting room rent, equipment rent, food, non-alcoholic drinks, waiters, set-up costs, tips, taxes, printing and any other reasonable related meeting expenses.

In the alternative, such meeting expenses can be paid without a ratifying Board vote or pre-approved meeting budget as long as they do not exceed pre-set amounts determined to be reasonable and normal for Board meeting expenses which the Board has approved by majority vote. Such amounts may be increased or decreased from time to time by Board action. The direct payment of such meeting expenses to the provider thereof shall not be deemed to be an improper "reimbursement of travel expenses" to any CCA Office, Director or Member under Article X of the By-Laws.

Any Officer, Director or officially assigned member may be reimbursed for supplies and materials purchased solely for the purpose of fulfilling Club duties provided a valid receipt is submitted to the Treasurer. The party must not exceed any budget without Board of Directors approval. Travel expenses may be reimbursed with approval of the Board of Directors.
