Travel Reimbursement for NWCG State Member Representatives

Travel Costs

Travel costs (airfare, lodging, and per diem) for NWCG committee/subgroup meetings or Training Program workshops may be reimbursed by funds administered by the NASF through a grant from the U.S. Forest Service (USFS).  This may occur only if the attendee is serving as the NASF representative to the NWCG committee/subgroup and funding is available.

NASF Travelers must have an approved Request for Travel Authorization on file prior to making travel reservations. (see reimbursement process below).
