REGISTRATION

To Enroll, fill out a registration form and send to the WCC. There are several ways to submit the form to us.

SEMINAR FEE

The seminar fee, $745 for each participant, includes materials, two continental breakfasts, and two lunches.

Note: In previous years we have included a dinner with this program. We noticed however that many people did not attend. Local people went home and even some people who traveled to the program seemed to feel that by dinnertime they had had enough of workers' compensation. Ed finds that hard to understand but we have decided that dinner will be "on your own."

Payment need not accompany registration but is due by the seminar date.

Government purchase orders will be accepted in lieu of advance payment. MSU's Federal ID # is 38-6005984.
