In 2010, Karen Wolf-Branigin, M.S.W., ESPA staff member, and Michael Wolf-Branigin, Ph.D., George Mason University Department of Social Work associate professor, collaborated with additional experts in the field to develop a model budget with line items and a formula to ascertain distinct costs and benefits of travel training services to trainees, the community and funders. The same year, they presented their model at the TRANSED conference in Hong Kong, China and at the Association of Travel Instruction Annual Conference in Baltimore, Md.
