Doubletree Paradise Valley Resort
Scottsdale, AZ
February 20-22, 2014
To encourage maximum attendance at the 2014 ADURS Symposium, a major portion of the expenses of the Members will be defrayed in the following manner:
1. REGISTRATION FEE
There is no registration fee for ADURS-funded attendees (State Delegate/Voting Member; Alternate State Delegate, Program Committee Member, Speaker, Director, Staff, or other as determined by ADURS).
$500 for non-ADURS funded attendees (registration fee covers educational programming and ADURS meals – cancellations must be made by January 21, 2014 for a full refund – no refund will be paid if after this deadline). Fee may be remitted by check to ADURS, Inc. 3006 Edinburgh Drive, Edmond, OK 73013. Credit card payments will be accepted via PayPal on www.adurs.com during the registration process.
IMPORTANT – ADURS TRAVEL AND LODGING POLICY
If attending as a state representative (voting or non-voting) with ADURS paying for travel, hotel and registration, you are agreeing to the following:
· You will attend all programs (lectures) presented at ADURS
· You will attend the business meeting if you are the voting member
Failure to attend all required aspects of ADURS without appropriate excuses (we are fully aware that there can and will be times where job obligations will cause conflicts – simply let ADURS staff know if this occurs) will result in this being reported to the ADURS Board of Directors for review. The Board may choose to revoke the sponsorship and invoice you for all costs of your attendance (travel, hotel and registration) at ADURS. If such action is taken, your supervisor will be notified.
2. HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
ADURS will pay for a three night stay (February 20-23) for all ADURS-funded attendees. Accommodation for a three night stay (Thursday-Saturday), single rate, plus any applicable taxes can be made for each State or Alternate Delegate attending the Symposium at:
Reservation Deadline: January 21, 2014
Any reservation changes/requests/additions received after the deadline
will be accepted on a space-available basis at the hotel’s discretion.
