Travel Approval Email Templates

Jump to Step 2: Booking Travel >

Note about travel to a training, conference, speaking event, large team IRL, or international

Authorizing official approval is secured via the event request process, so you are all set as long as your travel is booked in Concur and is in SUBMIT TO APPROVER status.

However, an email of approval is still required if you will be extending your trip at your own expense, flying to or from points that are not either your duty station or location of the event, or combining your event travel with travel for some other reason.
