Normally, there are no charges for programs or speakers representing TCC. If unusual expenses and/or travel of significant distances are incurred, reimbursement can be made to the speaker by the engaging organization. Such details can be cleared when final arrangements are made between the speaker and contact person for the organization.
Organizations outside Tarrant County are asked to reimburse the speaker for automobile/mileage expenses. The standard is 40.5 cents per mile.

As a general policy, honoraria are not required or expected. However, this is left to the discretion of the group, the speaker and the nature of the program provided.
