Member purchasing policy
Can Members register accompanying Non-member participants for Educational programs at the discounted member rate?

Members must Sign in, enter the total number of Member-price tickets for all participants they are purchasing for, and then complete each participant’s name and prompted information at the checkout screen. The transaction must be completed at the same time as the Member's registration(s).
