HOUSING POLICY CHANGE

As you start thinking about NLC, I want to make you aware of a recent change that will be in effect for NLC 2024 before you get too far in your planning process.  This change has been made by the National Board of Directors.

It will be shared in the conference preview guide which should be available this week. Below is language that was shared by the Board to SAAC that could also be used for this purpose:

It is required that attendees of the National Leadership Conference stay a minimum of four (4) nights within a BPA-approved hotel guestroom block. Although the official stay dates for NLC 2024 is Friday, May 10 to Tuesday, May 14, any pre- or post-conference nights reserved within a BPA guestroom block can be counted towards the room night minimum. Note that pre- and post-conference nights are limited and subject to availability.

Available minimum stay dates include:

• Wednesday, May 8 to Sunday, May 12 (very limited availability)
• Thursday, May 9 to Monday, May 13 (limited availability)
• Friday, May 10 to Tuesday, May 14 (official stay)
• Saturday, May 11 to Wednesday, May 15 (extremely limited availability)

Attendees who do not adhere to this policy will result in disqualification from conference attendance and/or be subject to pay the cost of room and tax for each night the minimum is not met.
