SCHEDULING LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS:

            To arrange for lectures and/or workshops by Dr. and/or Mrs. Dirks, email them at dirksjf_dl@yahoo.com

1.  Air fare from and to Wichita, KS, transportation to and from the airport in the host city, inexpensive hotel/motel accommodations in the host city, meals in the host city, and $50 in expense money should be provided.  These should all be arranged for and paid by the organization that is hosting us, with the $50 in expense money being added to our honorarium.  If we are to secure our own meals in the host city, an additional $10 per meal per person should be added to our expense money.

2.  Honoraria fees are as follows:  (A) a single lecture of up to one hour in length = $700; (B) all-day seminar = $1,200; (C) multiple lectures (not to exceed one hour each) across adjacent days or on the same day = $700 for the first lecture and $350 for each additional lecture; (D) Q & A sessions (up to 45 minutes in length) following A, B, or C = no charge.  If your request does not fit into A-C, prior arrangements need to be made with us regarding the honorarium.  (In considering these fees, please bear in mind that we spend a considerable amount of time in preparation and travel.)

3.  If an all-day seminar is being arranged, we will bring a CD with a Power Point presentation.  However, it will be up to the host organization to have a laptop computer and projector ready to use the Power Point presentation. 

4.  With rare exception, all scheduling should be finalized 30 days in advance of the scheduled lecture or workshop.  Please do not add additional lectures at the last minute, as we will not have time to prepare for them.

5.  If a change in plane is necessitated during the trip, at least a 90-minute time span should be allowed to do so.  All airplane seats should be arranged as aisle seats.

6.  If your city is within one day’s driving distance of Wichita, we will drive and spare you the cost of air fare, but this will necessitate an increase in our expense money.

7.  An opportunity should be provided at the end of the lecture for selling the books written by us.  We will bring the books with us.
