Q: DOES OAEYC ACCEPT PURCHASE ORDERS?
A: Yes! Please indicate method of payment with your conference
registration, including a purchase order number and billing information.
Q: WHAT
IF THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TIME
FOR MY PROGRAM TO PROCESS
A PAYMENT CHECK BEFORE THE
EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE?
A: If
your program takes weeks to
process payment checks,
make copies of your registration
forms and send them directly
to OAEYC by the early registration
deadline. Send a note indicating
that you have sent the originals
for payment processing. This
way we can start the registration
process. Prior to the conference,
check with your business office
to be sure it has completed
processing the payment check.
Q: IS
MEMBERSHIP INCLUDED IN
THE CONFERENCE FEES?
A: No. Becoming a member or renweing your membership
will save you MONEY! If your membership is not current
or if you want to become a member, you may include your
membership dues with your conference fees. Regular membership
dues are $65.00. Students may join for $55.00. Comprehensive
membership is $105.00. If your program will pay the
non-member fee and you wish to become a member, simply
enclose a personal check for the difference between
the non-member registration and the combined membership
and member registration. REMEMBER: MEMBERSHIP IS IN
THE NAME OF AN INDIVIDUAL ONLY.
Q: IS
CHILD CARE PROVIDED AT THE
CONFERENCE?
A: We feel that your child will do best with
someone she or he knows. Some participants bring spouses
or friends with them to watch their children, but it
can be a long day for young children.
Q: MAY
I BRING MY INFANT?
A: We
know that infants may need
to stay close to their mothers.
If your baby gets fussy, we
ask you to respect the needs
of others. You may want to
go to a quiet area to relax
until your infant is settled.
Q: ARE YOU ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE
PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS?
A: OAEYC supports the right of equal access to
this conference and makes every effort to ensure this
access. The building is wheel chair accessible. Requests
for other accommodations must be received by September
14th, so we have time to secure appropriate services.
Call 503-496-3991 or 1-800-452-3610 or email
us.
Q: IS MY WORKSHOP APPLICABLE
TOWARD MY CDA CERTIFICATION?
A: We provide individual certificates for each
workshop which include clock hours, core knowledge categories,
workshop description and instructor signature rather
than a generic conference certificate. For more information
on CDA call the CDA Office 1-800-424-4310.
Q: DO
THE WORKSHOPS MEET THE STATE
CHILD CARE TRAINING HOUR
REQUIREMENTS?
A: YES!
Every participant will receive
a certificate
of attendance at the END of
each workshop. Presenters have
a lot going on, so you may
need to remind them about your
certificates.
Q: I WANT TO COME, BUT I CAN’T
AFFORD THE FULL FEE! CAN YOU HELP?
A: There are several avenues for getting financial
assistance: see information regarding conference grants
on Registration Information page. OAEYC membership grants
are limited so apply no later than September 14th. OAEYC
gives a maximum of two per program as funds allow.
Volunteer Hosts are needed
to distribute and collect evaluation forms, distribute
certificates of attendance and assist the presenter
in other ways. Volunteer Hosts who have not previously
been a host must attend an orientation at the conference
prior to serving as a host. If you could host a workshop,
in exchange for a complimentary lunch, call the OAEYC
Office no later than September 14th.
