Jul 26, 2017 | Board Members Postings, Items of Note, NIOA Conference
We are just a few weeks away from the 2017 NIOA Training Conference in Clearwater and there are a few things to remember.
Your conference fees must be paid at the time of conference check in.
It is your responsibility to ensure this is done. If you have questions, please check with your finance or training departments to see if those fees have been paid or email me at nioa@comcast.net
Fees can be paid at the door with cash, check or credit cards. There is a service charge on credit cards. You will not be permitted to attend sessions until your fees are paid.
Our events on Sunday and Wednesday nights are receptions with finger foods, not sit down meals. Only one adult guest is allowed to attend with you. Children are not permitted.
Please keep your phones on silent so as not to disturb other attendees or presenters. If you have to take a call, please leave the meeting room and remember to move away from the entrance as well, again, so other attendees and presenters are not disturbed.
If you have items from your agency that you want to provide as door prizes, we’d be happy to have them.
We have posted an updated schedule on the website. Please check it out when you have a chance.
I look forward to seeing you in Clearwater!

If you have not registered for the NIOA conference, June 30 is the last day to register at the member rate of $520.00.
To be eligible, your membership dues and your conference registration form must be received by June 30. After that date the conference registration fee goes up an additional $100.
Please email registration form to me at nioa@comcast.net
You can pay your conference fees at the door.
We look forward to seeing everyone in Clearwater!

Executive Director
Note: Conference registration does NOT make you an NIOA member. Member fees are separate. Please see the NIOA site for details on both processes.

For those of you planning to attend the conference and have not sent in your registration form, please email it ASAP to nioa@comcast.net
There are also several people who have made hotel reservations, but have not registered. Each year, the conference sells out. If we don’t have your registration form, we cannot guarantee you will have a seat at the conference.
If your budget year does not begin until July, please go ahead and register. If your request to attend is denied, you can cancel without penalty by sending an email to me at nioa@comcast.net
If you registered by credit card, your receipt is your registration confirmation.
Should you have any question about conference registration, please contact me at nioa@comcast.net

Update Your Calendar!
The 2017 NIOA conference will be held August 27-30, 2017 at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort – Clearwater Beach, Florida.
Registration
UPDATE: Conference registration is now closed for the 2017 Conference. [15 August 2017]
You are not registered until you receive a confirmation email from NIOA.
Because this conference always sells out, pre-registrations are required. Walk up registrations will not be accepted.
Host Hotel
To get the NIOA reduced room rate of $114.00, plus taxes, you must call the hotel direct at 727-595-1611. Calling the 800 reservations number will not get you the NIOA rate.
For additional conference information, please contact Lisa McNeal at nioa@comcast.net.
Share this post with every PIO and public spokesperson you know!
