AMEA Registrar: From the Registrar

Pat Stegall

Thank you to everyone that pre-registered for the 2018 AMEA Professional Development Conference.  In spite of the weather issues, we were able to see a great number of members in attendance.  We had over 1000 attendees (780 pre-registered and over 220 on site).  Being in a new venue, we experienced some technical issues regarding the internet wifi that I hope will be resolved before next year’s conference.  If you did not pre-register, you should. It is easy with the online payment method and I want to be able to process the Check Ins as fast as possible so that you may spend your time enjoying the conference instead of waiting in line to register.  I am working to make sure that no one has to wait very long.  I may ask for some help from our members to open more stations next year, but you can help speed up the process by making sure your NAFME membership is current prior to the conference and by registering online.

On another note, some of you are experiencing issues with your pre-registration checks being returned because of the wrong address on the checks.  Some schools have a program that defaults to a Sheffield, Alabama PO Box when the Zip Code 35661 is entered. Please have your bookkeepers check on this if your check was returned and have them make a note of it for the future.  The correct address for mailing pre-registration forms is:  AMEA Registrar, PO Box 3385, Muscle Shoals, AL 35661
