Federal Meals
A working lunch will be provided on Thursday, May 8th. It is assumed that all meeting participants will participate in this unless you send an email to me at melanie@ucar.edu indicating that you will not attend. (Vegetarian options will be available.)
Federal attendees: Please note, UCAR cannot provide meals for Federal employees. This regulation comes from OMB and OMB circulars and Federal agency regulations. It is NOT a UCAR regulation but must be followed due to funding terms and conditions. Therefore, it is requested that Federal employees contribute $18 toward the lunch. The amount is calculated by using the specific meal portion of M&IE for Arlington, which is in Arlington County.
UCAR–supported Attendees: $18 will be deducted from your travel voucher for lunch. The amount deducted is calculated using the same data used for the Federal employees.
