A session for government meeting professionals covering the paperwork side of official travel: getting a travel authorization approved (including personal vehicle use), assembling a complete travel folder, understanding a hotel credit card authorization form, and correctly reporting travel expenses, with a close look at the parking-on-the-folio-but-paid-personally rule. While the examples loosely draw on Louisiana's state travel regulations, the underlying principles apply across state and federal travel policy, including the GSA, helping attendees from any jurisdiction avoid the documentation gaps that most often delay reimbursement.
