​Recognition Luncheon and Banquet Table Sign-Ups for Convention 2021
​Don't forget to sign up for Recognition Luncheon and Banquet Tables!  Free Recognition Luncheon and Banquet tickets will be available to individuals who register and pay balances in full by November 15, 2020.  Those wishing to use their free tickets must sign up for a table by December 1, 2020.   Individuals not reserving a table seat by December 1, 2020 forfeit their free 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.  

An access code is needed in order to sign-up for Banquet and Recognition Luncheon seating.  Individuals who have completed registration and paid balances in full will be emailed the access code beginning November 16th.   After December 1, 2020, the sign up will no longer be available online.
