Please read the below language and confirm your understanding thereof by checking all boxes:
*
The ECA Workshop will begin the evening of March 7, and conclude March 10, at 3pm, depending on my participation in the Capitol Hill visits.
If I opt to participate in the visit to Capitol Hill, I understand that there are limited hotel rooms available for the night of March 10, and are thus reserved for attendees who cannot travel home during the afternoon/evening of March 10.
I understand that all attendees will be asked to share a room with another volunteer or staff member, and I agree to cover the $99.50 per night plus tax cost if I request a single room.
AFS-USA will do its best to accommodate single-room requests, though I understand this may not be possible due to hotel availability.
If I am no longer able to attend the Workshop after submission of this interest form, please notify staff at ECAprograms@afsusa.org.
