Please note, because the FCCA is obligated to pay expenses based upon the number of
registered participants,
while substitutions are allowed up to 10 days before the event, this registration fee is non-refundable. We
apologize for this clause, but all group costs associated with this conference are funded solely from the registration fees collected. Refunding unanticipated
cancellations places future programs at risk of being suspended.
At the conclusion of the conference, an invoice for the registration fee will be emailed to you and the submitter
of the purchase order, and I ask that you forward it to the person responsible for payment in your office.
