CGS Cancellation Policy – Resident Events

Non-Cancellation Will Cost You...

Did you know that as a CGS Resident member the CGS funds an annual day of training and a dinner? What an amazing benefit to being a member! However, did you also know that if you register for the Resident Day and Resident Dinner and do not attend your non-attendance costs the CGS approximately $300? That is $300 that could have been used to fund an award or travel for another CGS student or be put towards a CGS fellowship!

The CGS office is required to give guarantees to the venue at least four (4) business days prior to the beginning of any conference. Therefore, if you sign up to attend the Resident Day or Resident Dinner and don’t give cancellation notice, you are included in the numbers for the day.

It is the fiduciary responsibility of the Board of Directors to ensure that the CGS’s money is spent wisely so we ask that if you registered for Resident Day and/or the Resident Dinner and are not able to attend the events please cancel within 5 business days by contacting registration@secretariatcentral.com
