Starting this year, we are excited to be able to offer a limited opportunity to public health graduate students to be part of this important conference. The Summit planning committee is looking for full-time public health or disaster preparedness graduate students interested in volunteering their time at the Summit.

Volunteers are needed to staff the registration desk, monitor sessions and workshops, and assist people in finding their way to Summit activities.

Student volunteers will be required to sign up for a minimum of 12 volunteer hours and in return receive complimentary registration to the conference. Student volunteers will be responsible for their own travel and hotel expenses.

If you are interested in becoming a student volunteer, please complete the application form and return it to Laura Harrison at [email protected].

Refunds are limited to conference fees paid. To qualify for a 50% refund of registration fees paid, a written cancellation must be received by the Summit Registration Manager no later than January 16, 2009. No refunds will be given after January 16, 2009. Cancellation requests should be sent via e-mail to [email protected]. Substitutions will be permitted and should also be submitted in writing.

In the unlikely event of program cancellation, NACCHO will refund 100 percent of registration fees paid. NACCHO assumes no liability for any penalty fees on airline tickets, deposits for hotel accommodations, or any other fees, charges, penalties, or other incidental costs that a registrant might incur as a consequence of a program cancellation.
