Knowledge Worker Requirements for Reporting Travel Plans
from and E-mail by Patsy Kahoe
(published 02/20/1997)
Here's a reminder to all about relaying
travel information for sessions you work.
NOTE - this is important only if you:
- care about having a place to sleep
when working with us and/or
- are concerned about keeping your SuperKwib
(me), Process Facilitator (varies), and Paymeister (RK) happy.
Guidelines
- Send your travel information PROMPTLY!
E-mail is the accepted and preferred method to transfer information.
The only exception is when you have been given such short notice that
it is obvious you should call. Whoever has prevailed upon you can tell
you who needs to be called. Normally it would be me (843-671-4755).
- Send your e-mail to the appropriate
people. Always include the
- Process Facilitator,
- Our Financial Officer, RK Bruce
(rkbruce@aol.com)
and
- the SuperKWIB, Patsy Kahoe (me)
(kahoe@aol.com).
- There are sometimes additional
people noted in the bird call. KnOwhere stores and Management Centers
usually have a KWIB or Logistics contact who handles your housing
for the event. Refer back to the bird call when sending your e-mail,
and follow your Process Facilitator's directions.
- Each session you work warrants a separate
e-mail, even if back to back sessions share a leg of travel. The most
common way to have a snarl communication is to send 2 or 3 sessions
worth of travel information in one message.
- Include in your e-mail:
- Appropriate subject title, such as
"ini.EventTRAVEL/YYMMDD/Location". In this example, "ini"
are your initials, "Event" is the name of the event, "TRAVEL"
indicates that the E-mail concerns travel arrangements, "YYMMDD"
is the date, and "Location" is an abbreviation for the location
of the event. An example: Patsy Kahoe will be on the KreW of the United
Way DesignShop on March 15, 1997 in Cambridge: pk.UnitedWayTRAVEL/970315/CAM.
- In the body of the E-mail, include:
- arrival and departure day/date/time.
- Flight information if flying; other
information if other modes of transportation are used - see examples
below.
- Cost of ticket or estimated expense
for driving (reimbursement for latter is at the rate of .31/mile
for personal vehicles; rental costs for rental cars).
- Sign off with your first and last
name, particularly is you are new to us or share a first name with
other networkers.
Here are examples of what is needed:
If you're flying (or training
or busing):

coordinator the same for planning accommodations, and RK your cost for
his money management needs.
