[MASTA Board] Fwd: Teacher Orchestra Conductor

[Michael Hopkins]

Hello all,

Dan can you please clarify what we are voting to approve? When Joel's 
proposal was brought forth, the discussion indicated that in the past 
MASTA has not supported an honorarium for the conductor of the Teacher's 
Orchestra.

Is the grant going to be used to pay for Scott's flight and hotel room 
only, or will he also receive an honorarium?

If he is receiving an honorarium, will it be for conducting the 
teacher's orchestra only, or will it include presenting sessions at MMC 
(Joel's proposal suggests that part of the honorarium will be for Scott 
to present sessions).

Thanks for clarifying.

Mike
