Chapter Members Attention!

 New Registration Policy beginning the April 9, 2009 Chapter Meeting/Program!

To enjoy the early meeting registration fee, all members should register before 5:00 p.m. on the Friday prior to our monthly meeting.  After the Friday deadline, registration will remain open until 5:00 p.m. the Monday before the chapter meeting, but at an increased cost.  All late registrations will cost $30.00.  You are welcome to attend the meeting as a "walk in," but seating is only as a standby, therefore you are not guaranteed a seat and will have to wait until seat availability is assessed.  The registration fee for standby seating is also $30.00 and is cash only.

The Rationale

The Hampton Roads SHRM chapter currently subsidizes the price of meals for every member that attends. In addition to the subsidized price of the meal, our venues assess the chapter extra fees when we exceed our confirmed number of attendees.  To keep the chapter's incurred expenses to a minimum, we will now directly pass through the add-on costs ($10 extra) for late registrations and walk-ins. This will allow our chapter funds to be better spent on items of benefit to the chapter membership and community such as offering nationally recognized speakers, granting certification scholarships for members, supporting student chapter efforts, etc.

Canceling Registration

Should you find that you need to cancel your registration, please contact the Chapter Treasurer by e-mail no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Monday preceding the meeting.  If you cancel after 5:00 p.m. on the Monday preceding the meeting, your registration fee will not be refunded, or, if you have not yet paid, you will be billed.
