This section covers the process of booking Reb or Bev to present keynote addresses or workshops at CONVENTIONS. Guidelines for booking Reb to present one of his seminars can be found by clicking on the link to the left "HOW TO BOOK REB FOR A SEMINAR" BOOKING
GUIDELINES FOR CONVENTIONS It is Reb's conviction that teachers are servants of those who engage their services. As a servant, Reb is hesitant to set firm requirements of event sponsors, yet over the years he has discovered that there are certain things needed in order to facilitate an effective time of ministry with the fewest distractions. Consequently, the following guidelines have been developed to help event sponsors understand those needs. We do not want to place an undue burden upon anyone -- it is our hope that the guidelines are understood simply as our effort to communicate a few logistical needs. REB'S AVAILABILITY · Reb is available at least 4 weekends a month for speaking. For those booking him for their conventions, he is also available Sunday mornings to speak at churches. COMPENSATION FOR CONVENTIONS: · CONVENTIONS (Regional, state, or national conferences that charge Entrance Fees to participants). At a time when so many are going through financial hard times, Reb and Bev do not charge a set fee for their speaking. However, they do speak for their living so rely upon financial remuneration. (Please note: The Bradleys receive no royalties from their materials, and proceeds from product sales go directly to Family Ministries, not to them.) · For those who are uncertain how to compensate a speaker, we usually suggest they take into consideration several things: The value of Reb's ministry to your group; the time given to preparation; and the number of days away from his family, including travel days [1 Tim 5:18]. TRAVEL: · LOCAL EVENTS: We ask that convention sponsors provide airfare to all events located at a distance beyond a 3-hour drive from the Bradleys' home one-hour north of Sacramento. When Reb & Bev drive to local events we request that they be reimbursed for mileage @ 56 cents p/mile. We will send an invoice giving total miles at the conclusion of the weekend. · AIR TRAVEL: Reb travels with Beverly or an assistant, so needs airfare for two passengers. · EXPENSES: When Reb flies, we ask that Family Ministries receive $95 to cover miscellaneous travel expenses, ie: airport parking, tips, etc. · SCHEDULING: To ensure flight reservations do not conflict with Reb’s schedule, Family Ministries will make all travel arrangements. We will always seek to book the lowest rate available, taking into account layover durations and luggage limitations. Family Ministries will purchase all airfare and then bill for reimbursement before the event. · GROUND TRANSPORTATION: Reb appreciates either being picked up at the airport or being provided a rental car. · BAGGAGE: Since most airlines now charge extra for luggage, we ask that luggage reimbursement be included with airfare. Average round trip baggage fees for two people = $240. (Southwest Airlines = $0). LODGING:
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
SPEAKING CONTINGENCIES:

REVIEW OF EVENT COSTS: · AIRFARE FOR TWO: Reb & Bev or one of them and an assistant · BAGGAGE FEES: Reimbursement for two passengers = $240 (Southwest Airlines = $0). · TRAVEL FEE: Reimbursement for miscellaneous travel expenses = $95 · SPEAKING FEE PER SPEAKER: At the discretion of event sponsors · TWO BOOTHS near Exhibit Hall entrance, at least one of which is a corner booth.
