Release and Consent
For students, this portion must be completed by your parent/guardian. If you are an advisor, you are consenting to and acknowledging the following on behalf of yourself. (Both the students and advisors are hereinafter referred to as Participant)
Consent for Attendance and Participation
I hereby give permission for the Participant to attend the NJ State Elks Association Peer Leadership Conference in Long Branch, NJ and to participate in all, sessions, workshops, social and physical activities involved in the conference. Participant agrees to abide by all Conference Rules and comply with, observe and obey any instructions, or other requirements provided at the Conference by the Conference staff or hotel. Failure to follow such Rules or requirements could result in being requested to leave the conference immediately in which case parents will be called to pick up their child.
Image Release Consent for Photographs
I hereby give permission for photographs and audio & video recordings to be taken of the Participant and for their audio, image and likeness to be used in promoting and publicizing of the Conference.
Medical Consents
I hereby authorize appropriately trained personnel (EMT), or other trained personnel designated by the Elks, to administer first-aid and medical treatment to the Participant, if necessary. I further give my permission for the Participant to receive aspirin, Tylenol, or other over-the-counter medicine as specified in the application.
In the event the Participant suffers a serious injury or illness, I understand that the Elks will notify me as soon as possible to obtain my approval for treatment. If I am unavailable, I designate the emergency contacts provided in this application to give such consent. In the event that efforts to contact me or my designees are unsuccessful or are not possible during emergency circumstances, I hereby authorize the attending physician to administer any treatment including surgery which he or she deems necessary. I understand that I will, in any event, be contacted as soon as possible. If it is the opinion of the Conference Staff that Participant should go home due to illness, the parents, guardians or emergency contacts agree to immediately pick their child up when called, regardless of time.
Release of Liability & Hold Harmless Agreement
In consideration of the participation of the Participant in Conference, I hereby release and hold harmless the N.J. State Elks Association, their officers, agents, servants, employees, volunteers and any associated medical personnel, from and against any and all claims, liability or damages for injury or death to person or damage to property which may occur during or arise out of the Participant’s attendance and participation at the Elks Conference.
