We just completed our first full month of the INETA Community Speakers Program.
The numbers…
In October 2010, INETA received 19 requests for speakers.
Of those 19 requests, 11 events were scheduled and held during October.
For those 11 events, speakers traveled a total of 4535 miles round trip (from their home address to the event and back.)
5 speaker events qualified for reimbursement of $200
2 speaker events qualified for reimbursement of $100
2 speaker events qualified for reimbursement of $50
2 speaker events were not reimbursed (less than minimum mileage)
13 new speakers registered in October, bringing the total to 309 registered as of October 31, 2010.
My thoughts…
We did 11 events under the new program for less than what it cost to do 2 under the old program. So I’d call it a success.
Thank you for everyone that has participated so far.
If you aren’t participating, why not?
