*Agency Rate Registrations may be made online by choosing "agency rate" as the registration option. Otherwise, please fill out the registration form on the back of the brochure, then mail, fax (see registration instructions below) or email it to [email protected]. For both online and mailed/emailed/faxed registrations, please be sure to include the names and email addresses of the 10 attendees from your agency.

Ways to Register! By Fax: Fax a copy of the registration form with the appropriate credit card information and signature to (919) 848-2355.  Faxed registrations will not be processed without credit card information.  By Mail: Mail registration form with payment to: SCHCHA, 3101 Industrial Drive, Suite 204, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27609. Registration forms will not be processed without payment. (Be sure and include the suite number!) 

Registration and Access: Registrants will be provided with instructions on how to access and use the platform in advance of the conference. The registration fee covers one individual and one continuing education (CE) certificate. Unless you select the agency rate, multiple site participation from individuals within your agency will require separate registration. For example: if your agency has paid for 1 participating registration but 3 people from your agency would like to attend (and receive CE credit), your agency will need to pay a separate registration fee for all 3 participants. In addition, if your agency has sent in 1 registration but 3 people from your agency register through the Crowdcast link, your agency will be invoiced the registration fee for the additional 2 registrations. The handouts will be emailed to you to the email address you provide. Please feel free to provide an additional email address as a backup. Sessions will be accessible on demand until August 8, 2021.

Cancellation Policy: Please note that fees will be refunded, or invoices will be adjusted, only if written notice of cancellation is received by May 28, 2021.  In the event of cancellation, SCHCHA will retain, or charge, 50% of the initial registration fee, per registrant, to cover administrative overhead. Once written cancellation is received, a SCHCHA staff member will review for approval. If your cancellation is approved, we will email back a signed and dated copy of the cancellation that your agency should retain on file in case of questions. While it is not permissible for several individuals to share a registration, SCHCHA will be happy to accept substitutions if notified of the change in writing.
