Please email your name, contact information, and the reason you are requesting a refund to drew@naaee.org. Individuals will be notified of NAAEE's decision in mid-December.

If an activity is cancelled, you will be notified no later than September 15, 2013. You will be offered an alternate field trip and/or an alternate workshop if the one you signed up for is cancelled. If you choose not to accept an alternate option, you will receive a refund.
