Thanks for bringing this up, Auriel. I wonder if it is worth clarifying these policies with institutions at the time that they make a workshop request. Then, we can let instructors know in advance whether they will have to wait for reimbursements for major expenses vs having travel + lodging covered up front. I would hate for any of our instructors to refuse a teaching opportunity because they aren't sure if they will need money up front.
