Convince your boss toolkit

Showing that you can put the connections made and the knowledge gained at NIRSA 2018 into action straightaway makes it easier for your supervisor or administration to support your attendance at the conference. So download the justification kit, customize your letter, and expenses and benefits worksheets.
