Notes:

1. The program developer is not asked in the RFP to submit a budget. But please note that the total amount available for faculty honoraria (in addition to travel and housing expenses) ranges from $400 to $1,500 for the entire program, depending on the number of faculty.
   
   
2. AALL will pay the program developer for developing and organizing this multi-day program.  A program development fee will be paid.  (See Developer & Presenter Fee Schedule)
   
   
3. Live Internet access adds significant costs to the individual registration fee and poses the risk of technical difficulties.  In addition, it restricts the number of potential sites, the number of potential participants, and scheduling flexibility.  Considering the use of an alternative such as screen captures is suggested.
