  • first notify MPRC of your acceptance to be on the program at PAA, using this google form. 
  • verify that you meet the requirements for funding before incurring any expenses, 
  • receive the KFS #/ Workday Tag from Jennifer for your travel, 
  • once approved by Jennifer and have the correct KFS#/ Workday Tag #, each traveler must then put in their own request in Concur for PAA Registration. Please title your request, PAA 2025 Registration Expenses.
  • Note that since the 2025 Annual Meeting is in Washington, DC, only registration expenses will be covered. No additional Travel expenses are allowable for reimbursement.
  • Your request in Concur will route through your home department first, and then through MPRC for financial approval. You must indicate on your Concur request that MPRC will approve of your Registration Expense only.
  • After your Request has been approved through Concur, you are responsible for organizing, securing, paying, and recording all of your registration expenses through Concur.  See the job aid links below for how to navigate properly in Concur.
