[Marsha Fensin <mfsings...>]

When I was a full time soloist, beginning in 1984, my congregation provided a
$1500 conference allowance.  They felt that further education, etc. was an
important element in being a successful synagogue professional.  You should not
have to depend on the generosity of Federation, although they, indeed are. We
need to educate our synagogues that this is indeed the case- for all of us--not
merely invested or ordained clergy.  That is only an excuse not to pay you your
fair amount.
