By virtue of registering for an NGWA event, you grant NGWA permission to use any photos/videos/recordings containing your likeness, taken by NGWA or its official representatives during the routine business course of this event, to be used in any future promotional endeavors of NGWA and its affiliates, without any further notification or expectation of compensation.
Special note on short course registration: Preregistration is necessary for participation in limited-enrollment short courses and to receive course materials. Payment must be received by NGWA three weeks prior to the course to ensure preregistration and check processing. The registration fee covers course materials, instruction, and beverage breaks. If you are unable to preregister 21 days prior to the course, please call NGWA to confirm that space is available. Registration confirmation, along with a badge mock-up for you to review, will be e-mailed to you; actual badges are to be picked up on-site.
Special note on conference registration: Registration confirmation, along with a badge mock-up for you to review, will be e-mailed to you; badges will then be mailed one to two weeks prior to the start of the event. If you register less than two weeks prior to the start of the event, you may pick up your badge at the on-site registration area. If you plan to register on-site at the member rate, please be sure to have your current NGWA membership card with you, along with your payment.
A 100 percent refund is granted for cancellations if NGWA is notified in writing 21 days prior to the first day of the event. Cancellations received less than 21 days prior to the event will be charged a $150 processing fee. Cancellations received less than seven days prior to the event will forfeit the entire registration fee. One substitute is permitted per registrant for the entire event; daily substitutions are not permitted. (In other words, preregistered individuals who cannot attend the event may assign their registration to a colleague; one event registration is valid for one person only.)
Please be considerate of your fellow attendees and refrain from cell phone use during educational program offerings to not disturb or distract those around you.
No photo, video, or recording equipment of any type may be used without the advance written approval of NGWA.
