Registration Process: A point-of-contact from each campus team will register their institution and all members of their campus team. This point-of-contact will pay the Institute fee and add the names and contact information of all members of their team. Please note that you will have the option to add between 4-8 team members on the registration form. If you do not include 8 guests from your campus in your registration, simply skip over the remaining number of guest registrations requested. To make the registration process easier, we suggest you collect the names, position/titles, email addresses, phone numbers (you may use the same phone number for all team members), and any food allergies / dietary restrictions of all team members before starting the process.

The registration deadline will be Thursday, October 19 by 5pm. If you have questions about the registration form or the Institute, please contact Assistant Director Zandra Cuff at cuff@transformmidatlantic.org.
