  • Please confirm your optimal airport with Abby Coutant (ac@qideas.org) and include approximate drive times to/from the airport. You will receive an airline receipt and any additional travel expenses for reimbursement. Please make all expense checks out to "The Arrow Group" and send to 1801 Shadow Green Dr., Unit 203, Franklin, TN 37064.

  • Rebekah would like a female volunteer or professional car service to pick her up / drop her off at the airport so she can avoid rental car logistics and costs. Rebekah would also appreciate a bottle of water available for her when she lands. 

  • Hotel
    When Rebekah travels alone, one non-smoking, non-connecting room with a queen/king bed in a 4-star hotel closest to the speaking location would be great. If someone accompanies her, then two connecting rooms (or two non-connecting rooms) with a queen/king bed is preferred. A room on the second floor or higher is optimal.  If a 4-star hotel is not available, please contact Abby (ac@qideas.org) with other options.  Early check-in is requested if she lands before the hotel’s usual check-in time.


  • Travel Schedule
    If Rebekah’s flight lands more than 60 minutes before her speaking time, she requests that she would be able to check-in to her hotel room and use the time to refresh after the flight and before she speaks. She also requests the option of popping back to her hotel room between speaking sessions if the schedule allows and/or a private prep space is not available at the venue.

  • After your event, you will receive a follow-up email from Abby & Rebekah which will include copies of receipts for any outstanding miscellaneous travel expenses. 

  • When possible, Rebekah appreciates healthy options: sparkling water, quinoa bowls, salads with protein (grilled chicken, almonds, etc.) and non-dairy, gluten-free options. For a treat, she enjoys dark chocolate with sea salt and almonds. Her Starbucks drink is an Iced Grande Oat Milk Vanilla Latte, half sweet (no dairy, please!). 

    Due to Rebekah’s rigorous travel schedule, Rebekah and her travel assistant would love to have “ready to go” meals when they are on the ground with you. Please provide a few healthy fast casual options to be discussed on the Advance Planning Call. To the extent that these meals can be provided upon landing/before departure/between speaking sessions, it would be greatly appreciated!

  • Rebekah prefers a headset microphone, when possible. 

  • If a Sound Check is needed, Rebekah is available 30 minutes before her first speaking time. When Rebekah arrives, it is recommended that you run through the daily schedule with her – as last-minute changes are common.

  • Rebekah appreciates a bottle of water and tall table or podium for notes and her Bible.
