Purpose Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO) 4th Quarter Board meeting - I am an elected board member representing Independence. MRO pays the travel costs, but they reimburse the organization being represented, then the board member must request reimbursement from their organization. A copy of the Board policy is included with the travel report and receipts.

How did the travel apply to the job?

I represent Independence on the Board of Directors for our regional NERC Compliance oversight organization.

How did training add value to the city?

Gained a deeper understanding of the development of the Regional Risk Assessment

General comments: Per Board policy, MRO reimburses the organization being represented, not the Board member. Board members then claim reimbursement from their company. I didn't realize that and paid the travel expenses out of pocket. MRO will make an ACH transaction to the city. The city reimburses me. MRO needs the ACH information so they can make payment.
