Conference attendance and payment

  • FAHN membership is not required to attend the conference.  Members, however,  get a lower rate.  If you do the math you will find that it is cheaper to become a FAHN member and then register for the conference.  This allows you membership until October 1st and places you on our mailing list and membership renew alerts. 
  • All FAHN memberships expire October 1.  If you are a member and sign up for the conference before October 1st, you will receive the member rate. 
  • Attendance at the conference does not automatically renew your membership (in past years, this was automatic.... it is no longer so!)
  • Again all memberships expire on October 1 of every year.
