For any confusion regarding the funding requirements for ASA to attend the New Orleans meeting, this is what is written in our constitution:

To receive funding for travel, student members must attend at least three (3) events the previous semester, notwithstanding new students, including general meetings, outreach events, project meetings, and social events organized by the Student Chapter. Priority will be given to those members who attended more than the required three (3) events.
