Recognition Luncheon and Banquet Table Sign-Ups for Convention 2022

Complimentary Recognition Luncheon and Banquet tickets will be available to individuals who register and pay balances in full by November 15, 2021. Those wishing to use their complimentary tickets must sign up for a table by December 15, 2021. Individuals not reserving a table seat by December 15, 2021 forfeit their complimentary tickets. Since Recognition Luncheon and Banquet tickets are not included in any convention packages, refunds will not be given for events that a member is unable to attend because the deadline was missed to sign up for table seating.
