Accepting Gifts, Honoraria or Expense Reimbursements

Occasionally a MGV may be offered a gift or honorarium as a speaker. It is permissible to accept a small gift but not money. It is not permissible to ask for or seek payment for any educational services provided as a MGV. It is the responsibility of the MGV to inform the person/group making the offer that no payment is expected or required. Donations to the MGA, or the MG Foundation Fund, are an acceptable method of handling “offered fees.”
 
A MGV can accept reimbursement for travel and expenses associated with preparing/conducting an educational program.
