Last year our NED planned a directors retreat and brought in a speaker. We were able to use our money for that.
 
I just looked at the Directors Policy Guide on CC and all the events that this award can be used for are on page 4. It's pretty detailed so I'm not going to re-type the whole thing and we can't cut and paste it here. Check it out.
