ADDRESSING CANCELLATIONS DUE TO PANDEMIC

There are valid reasons individuals cannot attend the training institute after registering, especially during this pandemic. Unfortunately, APPA must hold firm to the no-refund policy cut-off date because of its contractual obligations to meeting facilities for sleeping rooms, food and beverage, meeting space, equipment, etc. With reduced numbers, APPA will pay a substantial financial penalty for all contractual commitments not meet. And because of the pandemic and tremendous loss of revenue, facilities are under remarkable economic pressures and are not willing to reduce contractual requirements.

Albeit, APPA understands the difficulties resulting from this worldwide plague. We also value our members and stakeholders. In an attempt to find a win-win solution during this unconventional time, if an individual is unable to attend the upcoming training institute regardless of the reason, APPA will provide one of the following remedies: (1) transfer registration fee to winter 2022 virtual training institute (three individuals may attend), and/or (2) receive credit toward registration for a future in-person training institute (to be used by first quarter 2023).
