Procedures

  1. The GAEL Financial Coordinator will update the G-CASE Executive Director regarding cancellations during conference registration periods.
  2. The G-CASE Executive Director will make final necessary adjustments to facility requests and meal/snack numbers if needed based on the number of written cancellations received before the conference.
  3. A photograph of all name badges not picked up will be taken at the end of the conference, which will be attached to a list of "No Shows" to be given to the GAEL Financial Coordinator for billing purposes.
  4. While not publicized, any conference registrant with extenuating circumstances (i.e., death in the immediate family, severe weather conditions, etc.) may appeal the Cancellation Policy in writing to the President of G-CASE, who will make the decision as to the amount, if any, of payment to be made.  This decision will be shared with the G-CASE Executive Director, who will notify the registrant and the GAEL Financial Coordinator.
