Cell phone number for Brenda's host on the day of the event.*
Brenda likes to communicate with the host via text or phone call in case she has any questions or concerns on the day of the event.
Travel Expenses*
I have read about travel and accommodations and have taken this into account in the offered speaking fee.
To make it easier for everyone involved, Brenda is responsible for all her own travel arrangements and fees for those arrangements are included in the agreed speaking fee.
Please note that Brenda always travels with either her husband or a female companion for the sake of accountability and safety. The standard travel fees take this into account.
For one day local travel where Brenda can drive to your event and return home by the end of the day the standard travel fee is $150.
For local travel where Brenda can drive but is requested to stay overnight the standard travel fee is $500.
For events outside the local area where Brenda must travel by Air the standard travel fee is $2000.
If Brenda is expected to eat any meals at the event, please note that she prefers to eat a gluten free diet. This is not an allergy, just a preference, but we appreciate you taking this into consideration.
