Hello!

I'm working with my institution (James Madison's Montpelier) to determine
what is an appropriate "going rate" for scholars.

We often bring scholars to our site for talks and for multi-day
professional development sessions. We generally pay $500 per person for
anything less than an 8-hour day, and $1,000 per person per day for
professional development sessions. We pay travel in addition to those rates.

We're trying to get a sense of if that's standard for the field or if we
are short-changing our scholars.

If you wouldn't mind sharing your rates for scholar-led programs, I would
greatly appreciate it. Please e-mail my work address at [log in to unmask]

Thank you!
