When planning for a large event (i.e. NRCSA Spring Conference or NRCSA Legislative Forum), NRCSA must make financial commitments such as facility rental and costs of meals. Weather sometimes causes a decision to be made by NRCSA in the form of a cancellation or postponement of the event, or for registrants to decide whether or not they can attend the event. Sometimes registrants need to make a decision not to attenddue to other reasons. NRCSA has weighed the issues of its financial commitments versus registrants not being able to attend for various reasons. Thus, the followingpolicy has been adopted:
DEADLINE FOR FULL REFUNDS: Feb. 20
WEATHER CANCELLATION DECISION MADE BY NRCSA:
All registrants, including vendors, will be offered a full refund or to have the registration fee carried forward to the next year’s event.
WEATHER POSTPONEMENT DECISION MADE BY NRCSA:
All registrants, including vendors, will be offered a full refund or to have the registration fee carried forward to the re-scheduled event.
DECISION BY A REGISTRANT, INCLUDING VENDORS, TO NOT ATTEND THE EVENT AND COMMUNICATED TO NRCSA AT LEAST A WEEK PRIOR TO THE EVENT:
Two options will be provided to the registrant, including vendors: A full refund OR carry the registrant amount forward to the following year.
DECISION BY A REGISTRANT, INCLUDING VENDORS, TO NOT ATTEND THE EVENT AND COMMUNICATED TO NRCSA WITHIN A WEEK PRIOR TO THE EVENT:
For members, an option will be provided to have the registration fee carried forward to the next year’s event OR a refund minus the costs to NRCSA for meal(s). (NOTE: In 2026, for the Spring Conference this would be $105, for the Legislative Forum the cost is $45.)
For vendors, the option to carry the registration amount to the following year will be provided.
DECISION BY A REGISTRANT TO NOT ATTEND THE EVENT, BUT FAILS TO COMMUNICATE WITH NRCSA PRIOR TO THE EVENT:
No refund will be provided.
