OLA TRAVEL FUND
The OLA Board of Directors has established a modest travel fund to ensure members of the association have opportunities to participate in OLA programs despite geographical barriers. The fund is to cover travel costs, that when reasonably purchased would exceed $500. Disbursement is not to exceed $1,000. The annual number of disbursements to recipients will vary and are based on the annual budget situation of the association.
