In order to secure the most economical air transportation, Barbara
must be provided with all necessary information about exact dates
and times of workshops and other events at least 90 days prior to
the first scheduled event on the trip which includes your events.
Please keep in mind that you may not be the first group on her
itinerary, and you may be required to provide this information more
than 90 days prior to your events. If your failure to provide this

solely responsible for paying the difference in cost.

cost of extra bag, all out of country taxes and permit fees

order to save the guild or conference money on air fare or
is required to arrive a day early due to inclement weather,
your guild/conference will be responsible for all expenses
on these extra days.
If
Barbara will be in your area for extra days

in your area, the guild / conference will be responsible for
sharing all expenses on these extra days with the other
groups involved.

required for issuing a work permit, this must arrive at least
120 days in advance. If a work permit is necessary, and there is
a charge for the work permit, the guild will be responsible for
paying the charge. The guild will check with local immigration
authorities, and let Barbara know at least 120 days in advance
what arrangements need to be made to secure this work permit.
If the time
difference between Billings and your country is more than 6
hours,
Barbara will need a day of rest to recover from jetlag before

including your group, will share expenses on the rest and travel
days. (see

The guild will not be responsible for his expenses. In the case of
hotels that have an extra charge for a second person in the room,
Barbara will pay the extra charge.
Cancellations:
The Guild may cancel a workshop due to insufficient enrollment 30
days prior to travel dates or prior to the purchase of non-
refundable airline tickets or any other expenses incurred by Barbara
Olson. If a workshop is canceled due to insufficient enrollment,
Barbara Olson must be notified before incurring any expenses. If a
workshop is canceled after the purchase of airline tickets, the
guild will be responsible of paying for the tickets. If a workshop
is canceled, and coming to your group for fewer workshops or
lectures than originally agreed upon in this contract will cause
economic hardship for Barbara Olson, she reserves the right to
cancel the remainder of the contracted workshops / lectures.

/ lecture commitments made by Barbara Olson
in your area on this same trip, shall be cleared with the guild /
conference representative, with travel expenses to be shared if
other teaching venues are included in her travel itinerary.
Sharing Expenses:
When expenses are shared by several groups, expenses will be split
between groups having similar programs. If groups sharing expenses

will be charged a percentage of total airfare, parking, tolls, and
mileage, as well as meals, and lodging on rest and travel days.
Individual groups will be responsible for lodging and meals on the
days Barbara is working for them. In order to simplify accounting, a
$25.00 per diem will be assessed for meals on days when they are not
provided by your group.

Letter of Agreement must be returned to Barbara Olson before a
firm commitment can be made.
If your group would like to
