<div dir="ltr">Hey Debbie,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
<div>We do this regularly. We have learned to book the hotels directly (to control price) and order food in-house (to keep them from returning late from lunch). Even if you don’t do this, reimbursing them is fine. It is all allowable including mileage.
We make them provide Google map for mileage. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is very similar as when IMLS brings us to grants to states conferences. </div>
<div>Hope this helps!</div>
