Original Message from Joe Cusack

Hello,

Please see my signed attached acceptance letter.

I have already paid my hotel reservation and paid my conference registration fee. Based on my understanding, these steps fulfill the requirements to be eligible for up to the maximum $750 reimbursement grant for the EdCon 2026 conference.

Please let me know if there is anything else I need to complete.

Thank you,
Joe Cusack

Follow-Up Message from Joe Cusack

Hello,

I am following up on your email. I received your message below, which stated, “Received. Have a great weekend!”

I wanted to clarify whether this means that my $750 grant has officially been approved. If possible, could you please confirm the status more specifically?

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Sincerely,
Joe Cusack

Clarification from Ashley Myles

Hi Joe,

Sorry for the confusion. My response was to confirm receiving your signed agreement. I also have you marked for conference registration and payment.

I have not yet received the hotel reservation list, but I have noted that you mentioned that it is complete as well.

If so, you have completed required steps 1-3 due before attending the conference. Action items 4-6 will be done while at the conference and after.

If steps 1-6 are fulfilled per your agreement, the travel grant reimbursement is approved. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Best,
