New Conference Registration
Process:
Effective immediately, the South
Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA) will now require attendees to
register for conferences PRIOR TO securing lodging associated
with the event. The registration fee is non-refundable
but is transferrable to ANYONE in the attendee’s district or
organization. The change is necessary to address the monetary loss to the
association when the block of hotel rooms reserved for the conference are not
filled. These are typically rooms reserved by school districts or organizations
for attendees but cancelled at the last minute and cannot be filled by
attendees who have already reserved rooms in overflow hotels.
For each conference, SCSBA
negotiates terms for the room block which must be met. This means hundreds of
rooms are held by the hotel and available at a lower rate prior to each
conference with the promise of the Association filling them. Last-minute
cancellations result in SCSBA accepting responsibility for payment on behalf of
attendees, which lessens our ability to secure accommodations needed for each
conference.
Under the new process, NO ONE
will have access to the room block until they have first registered for the
event.
School board members must register through their
board administrators, clerks, or secretaries to prevent duplicate registrations,
invoicing, and credit card charges. Associate members must register through
their company’s contact. Registrations by individual members
are not accepted.
