Members

As part of your membership package, there is no registration fee associated with attending the Joint Technical Work Group meetings. However, it is imperative that you notify us of your attendance at this meeting! Please pre-register to help avoid long lines at registration.

The registration fee for non-members to attend the work group meetings is $450. Attendees participating as a non-member do not have voting privileges. You may pick up your name badge at the NCPDP registration area.

A receipt will not be sent for this payment, however, should your company require a receipt please contact the Council office (480) 477-1000 ext. 102. The meeting registration fee for non-members is payable by credit card, check, money order or cash and is payable in U.S. dollars.

Non-members who pay to attend a work group meeting and then join NCPDP prior to the next scheduled quarterly work group meeting may apply $250 of their registration fee towards their membership. The additional fee is an administrative fee.

Meeting registration cancellations are considered official on the date they are received in writing at the Council office. For cancellations made prior to July 16, 2010, NCPDP will refund the entire registration fee; however, refunds will not be processed until after the work group meetings. Registration fees for cancellations received after July 16, 2010 will not be refunded.

"Orientation to NCPDP," an attendee/membership orientation session, will be held on Wednesday, August 4, 2010. This session will provide in-depth information on NCPDP, the work group meeting structure and will also update attendees on work group activities. In addition, the meeting will offer further information on the process for establishing standards, which includes the balloting and reconciliation process. This session is recommended for all new attendees, however, any individual that has general questions regarding NCPDP procedures or just needs a refresher course, is highly encouraged to attend. If you are interested in participating in this program, please be sure to check the box marked "This is my first NCPDP Joint Technical Work Group Meeting," on the registration form. Pre-registration for the Orientation session must be received in the Council Office by Friday July 16, 2010. Registration received after July 16, 2010 will be accepted on a space available basis. Contact Laura Seras at 480-477-1000 ext. 102 for more information on NCPDP's orientation.

As an added service for new members or first time work group attendees, NCPDP has initiated a "Buddy Program." NCPDP will pair new members or first time attendees with a seasoned veteran (or "Buddy") in order to help make their first work group meeting as profitable and enjoyable as possible. If you are a new member or a first time attendee and are interested in participating in this program, please be sure to check the box marked "This is my first NCPDP Joint Technical Work Group Meeting," on the registration form, and you will be contacted with additional information. Please register by July 16, 2010 to ensure that we have adequate buddies.

If you have any questions regarding either of these programs, please contact Laura Seras at (480) 477-1000 ext. 102 or lseras@ncpdp.org.
