Reimbursement

Repaying a member for an approved expense they paid out of pocket on the chapter's behalf.

A reimbursement returns money to a member who personally paid for something the chapter approved — event supplies, philanthropy costs, or travel. A proper reimbursement process requires a receipt, an approval, and a logged payout, creating an audit trail that protects both the member and the chapter.
