SCAPA to host NAAP 2011 Conference
SCAPA put in a bid in 2007, which was accepted, to host the NAAP 2011 conference in Myrtle Beach, S.C. NAAP (National Association of Activity Professionals) recently chose the site, The Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center. This is a great location, only 3 blocks from the beach and a short distance to Broadway at the Beach. The conference will be March 30 - April 2, 2011. To serve on the Local Accomodations Committee (LAC), you must be a NAAP member. More information about NAAP and membership information can be found at www.thenaap.com. We are looking forward to this opportunity to show off our state to Activity Professionals from across the United states, Canada and Bermuda! We hope you are too!

SCAPA POLICIES
SCAPA LATE FEE POLICY
For each workshop and conference, there is an early registration deadline. Anyone sending in a registration form after the deadline, must pay the late fee. There will be no exceptions to this policy. We have deadlines we must meet with hotels and hosting sites, handouts to prepare, registration packets to compile, etc. It also costs SCAPA money if we do not have accurate meal counts for functions. Brochures are sent out at least two months in advance, giving members ample time to request approval and funds. PLEASE do not wait until the last minute to request approval as it may cost you more.
SCAPA EDUCATION SESSION ATTENDANCE POLICY
NCCAP and LTHCA require that persons attend an entire session in order to receive credit. In order to maintain our integrity and assure these rules are met, the following policy will be in affect. Anyone who arrives more than 5 minutes after the start of a session, without a pass from a session monitor, will be asked to hand their certificate to a session monitor. The monitor will then mark "NO CREDIT" through the time slot for all sessions taking place during that time frame. The member may still attend the session, but will not receive credit. Breaks are normally 30 miniutes each, allowing everyone ample time to get to sessions on time. Also, if anyone must leave during a session, they must return within a reasonable amount of time to receive credit.
SCAPA REFUND POLICY
Refunds for conference and workshops will be given in case of illness of the member or family, death in family, or Surveyors in member's facility at the time of the event. Refund requests must come to the Board in writing and must be made within 30 days of the close of the event. No refunds will be issued after the 30 day period. Missed conference/workshop fees also will not be applied to a future conference or workshop. Member must request a refund if they meet the above stated criteria. Those who meet the criteria and do not request a refund within the 30 days, will forfeit their registration fee.
