Your employer may pay for your registration in two ways.
One way is that a number of state agencies have agreed to partner with ACSED to support the Symposium and have purchased training packages for a limited number of their employees to attend the Symposium. (Click here for a list of partner departments.) If your department is a partner and you have already registered or were registered by your department; you DO NOT need to register again. You should have already received an email confirming your registration, but if you’re not sure, send an email to ralphdblack@att.net and we’ll let you know if you are already registered.
Another way is if your department is not a partner or is a partner but has already registered the number of employees authorized in its training package, your department can still pay for your individual registration by credit card or check as described above.
Reasonable Accommodation:
When you register, please be sure to let us know if you need any type of reasonable accommodation.
In particular, if you will need a sign language interpreter, please register and include your accommodation request by no later than Friday, October 2nd in order to ensure that we will be able to arrange ASL services.
Once you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email sent to the address entered in the form.
Detailed information about the Symposium, including the program and the links you’ll need to participate, will be sent to registrants by October 19th, just before the Symposium begins on Tuesday, October 20th.
Please note that the registration system will not accept duplicate registrations. If you need to correct or update a registration, if the confirmation email is not received, or if you have other questions regarding registration, you may contact Ralph Black at
ralphdblack@att.net or by phone at (916) 531-6460.
