Additional Workshop Procedures:
1. A deposit must be paid in order to reserve a seat in any workshop.
2. Non-members will pay an additional fee to attend a workshop. This fee will be an amount equal to the current year's membership dues. The non-member may choose to apply this extra fee towards membership in the organization, if they wish. However, membership is not required to purchase a seat in a workshop.
3. Workshops must be paid in full 30 days prior to the first session.
4. Up until 30 days prior to a workshop, if a member or non-member must cancel their reservation, they will be refunded their paid deposit. After that time, monies paid will be refunded only if the organization has a waiting list for that particular workshop and is subsequently able to sell the seat. If no waiting list exists, the person wishing to cancel would then have the option of providing their own replacement. If this occurs, a refund will be issued.
