MEMBER REGISTRATION FOR SESSIONS

Members register to attend and pay for sessions online after logging in to this website. When registering themselves, members may register up to 2 guests per event. If a member wishes to add a guest after they themselves are registered, then the member must contact the ECPAC Administrator.

GUEST IN-PERSON LUNCHEON SESSION ATTENDANCE

We welcome non-members to participate in our noontime in-person sessions as guests. Guests are limited to attending 2 sessions per calendar year of either type (in-person or online). Only members can register up to 2 non-members for these sessions and they should register and pay for their guest(s) at the same time they register themselves. 

To register as an in-person guest please contact a member.  Alternatively please contact the ECPAC Administrator or a member of the Board of Directors who will happily organize your attendance as a guest.      

GUEST ONLINE SESSION ATTENDANCE

Guests are able to register through an ECPAC member for any on-line zoom sessions that we host. Guests are limited to attend only 2 sessions per calendar year of either type (in-person or online). 

MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION

All membership applications must be completed online using the form below.  

We encourage all registrations to be paid using the online process because this requires far less administration time than processing cheques. Also, online payments are clearly linked to your registration so there will be no lost payment information.  Paypal administers the on-line payment system, so the ECPAC does not retain any credit card information at all.  We no longer accept any other forms of payment for sessions.
