Visiting Instructor Program
Outline
The “Visiting
Instructor Program” is a new service to be offered by the AFTK to its
member clubs, commencing in the 2006 calendar year. The intent of the
program is to promote interstate instruction in the art of Karate. The
AFTK will enable this through:
1.
A national register of AFTK member instructors who are interested
and available to travel interstate to teach Karate seminars;
2.
A pre-determined budget to facilitate the part funding of AFTK
member instructors’ travel expenses; and
3.
An equitable and transparent mechanism for AFTK member clubs to
apply for part funding of an AFTK member instructor’s visit to their
state.
Rules and Regulations
1
National Register of Visiting Instructors
At the beginning
of each year, AFTK member instructors will be invited to register/renew
their interest to teach Karate seminars at interstate AFTK member clubs.
1.1
A
'Registration of Interest' form will be distributed to all AFTK member
instructors by the end of February.
1.2
Registration of Interest forms must be returned to the AFTK within two
weeks of distribution (early March).
1.3
The AFTK will publish/update the National Register of Visiting
Instructors on its Website by the end of March.

Budget for Part Funding of Visiting Instructors
At the beginning
of each year, the AFTK Treasurer will allocate a budget to facilitate
the part funding of AFTK member instructors’ travel expenses.
2.1
The budget will be pre-determined by the AFTK Treasurer based on
available funds (including any unspent portion of previous years’
budget), current membership and anticipated future membership.
2.2
The budget allocated for previous years will have no bearing upon
the budget to be allocated in future years (i.e. the budget allocated in
2006 does not set any precedent for the budget to be allocated in 2007,
2008, etc).
2.3
The budget must be approved by the AFTK National Management
Committee before publication.
2.4
The approved budget will be distributed to AFTK member clubs by
the end of March, along with the 'Application for Part Funding' form
(see next section).
3
Application for Part Funding of Instructor Visit
Once the
instructors have been registered and the budget has been determined,
AFTK member clubs will be invited to apply for part funding of an AFTK
member instructor’s visit to their state.
3.1
An 'Application for Part Funding' form will be distributed to all
AFTK member clubs by the end of March, along with the approved budget.
3.2
Although it will be possible for individual AFTK member clubs to
receive part funding for an instructor visit to their club, preference
will be given to applications submitted by the AFTK State Coordinator
representing multiple AFTK member clubs in their state.
3.3
Application for Part Funding forms must be returned to the AFTK
within two weeks of distribution (mid-April).
3.4
The AFTK will advise applicants of the outcome of their
application by the end of April, including the funding that has been
allocated by the AFTK for the agreed visit.
3.5
It is the responsibility of the host club/state to organize all
aspects of the instructor’s visit and pay for all expenses.
3.6
Following the instructor’s visit, the host club/State may claim
reimbursement of expenses incurred during the visit, up to the amount
allocated by the AFTK.
All claims should
be submitted to the AFTK within one month of the instructor’s visit, and
should be accompanied by original receipts.
