This isn't a one-time mistake. It appears to be a $400,000+ mistake.

OSF got in trouble on a similar issue in 1988, before I started. They
had a member meeting in Monte Carlo, and paid to have most of the staff
go to Monte Carlo.  They spent around $500,000.  It was a real blast, I
heard.  Just after I started, the VP I worked for was fired as a result
of the boondoggle.

A $400,000+ blunder should be investigated, and the manager(s)  
responsible should be fired.  We call that accountability. Membership 
organizations are accountable to the membership.
