Payment
Renewing members must pay membership dues within 30 days of the start of the dues year (by August 1). New or lapsed members must pay within 30 days of invoicing (Net 30). Non-payment on these timelines will result in cancellation of membership.
If you register for conference at the member rate, your membership monies must also be received per the above paragraph or by the advanced registration deadline, whichever comes first, or you will be re-invoiced for conference at the non-member rate.
Purchase orders cannot be provided as a promise to pay in order to gain entry to this conference. If you have not paid upon arriving at conference, regardless of whether a purchase order has been sent, you will be asked to provide a personal credit card.
