  Sep 21, 202640 min

  Today's SWAPA Number is 3, as in our three executive officers giving us a brief on the third board meeting of the year. You received an email from the board of directors this past Friday that hit the high points, but three days of business are tough to capture in a quick email. So here's President Jody Reven, Vice President Kevin Hornburg, and second Vice President Hank Ketchum, to go over all the agenda items that were covered during the September board meetings.

  Expenses | Contract 2029 SEP Education

  Aug 4, 202617 min

  Welcome back to the Contract 2029 Survey Education and Poll Series. Today we are relaunching the Contract 2020 TA Education podcast on Section 3: Expenses, which was originally recorded in December 2023. Most of that conversation between NC Chair Kurt Heideman and President Jody Reven, who was the NC Chair at the time, is still true. Hopefully this will provide a thorough look at what our expenses language says today, some background and context on how we arrived at this language, and how it compares to the rest of the industry.
