The Director shall be notified prior to any speaking engagement.

b)         No fees or honoraria for personal use may be accepted by the individual making the presentation.  If a sponsoring organization wishes to make a contribution, it shall be encouraged to donate to the Resident's Benefit Fund of a particular facility or to another fund, project, or purchase that will benefit the committed person population of a facility.
