How is the public informed that the state conference is for members only. I just linked to the site from our new chapter FB page and the conference registration is quite prominent.

In the past, registration has been open to anyone interested in participating or learning more about the program. We rarely receive registrations from non-members (1-3 per year). If the conference fills this year, we may need to revisit this policy due to space limitations and growing interest in the program.

When will there be a decision made about whether the conference is open to non members? I also need to find out what activities I signed up for when I registered

A sincere thanks to the Historic Rivers and Peninsula Chapters for hosting the annual conference. The walks and talks were great and we had a blast. We'll definitely be back down to explore your corner of the state again.

The date has not been set. This year, we will be hosting four regional events instead of one statewide event. We will get details out as soon as they become available
