Payment
After submitting your registration, you will receive an email with the link to proceed with the payment. To reduce registration costs, we chose to work with our in-house platform from the College Foundation. This automatically includes a box to “Make this gift on behalf of an organization”. Do not click this box as this is not related to our meeting.
If you do not receive the confirmation email with payment information, use this link to make your payment. Email Linda McGuigan, [email protected] with any questions.
Your registration will only be finalized once your payment is completed.
Registration includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday.
