CAA Cancellation and Refund Policy
The volunteer Chicago Area Archivists (CAA) committee members that plan CAA programs and events attempt to keep costs as low as possible, and establish registration fees only when necessary to cover expenditures. Any revenue generated from the collection of registration fees is used to fund the creation of new programs.
Should circumstances arise that result in the postponement of an event, CAA has the right to either issue a full refund or transfer registration to the same event at the new, future date.
CAA reserves the right to cancel an event due to low enrollment or other circumstances which render the event non-viable. If CAA cancels an event, registrants will be offered a full refund.
Refunds will not be available for registrants who do not to attend an event.
No transfers or credits.

CAA Honorarium Policy
CAA recognizes the labor that is involved with presenting, teaching a workshop, or participating in a panel discussion. In most cases, our programming is conducted by our membership and is a part of that member’s regular job duties. Often the idea for a program comes from members themselves who wish to lead or present on a topic that they have been actively involved in and are proud to share with the community. This type of participation is part of what it means to be an active member of CAA and is considered to be giving back to an organization that serves to help its members develop professionally.
Occasionally however, we recognize that a speaker, presenter, or teacher goes beyond their normal job duties or beyond the normal duties of membership, or is a non-member who has provided valuable information to our community. In these cases, CAA will provide an honorarium whenever possible. Honorariums are not to exceed $200 per person, per event. They will be doled out at the discretion of the Steering Committee.
Please contact us to see the full policy on honorariums.
