FINAL INSTRUCTIONS:

If this completes a morning program offer to take the clinician to lunch at the Hospitality Lounge located in Rooms 1E03/04/05 on the First Level. At the end of an afternoon program, offer the clinician the opportunity to come to the Hospitality Suite at the Marriott Hotel in Room 4329.

1. Please check to make sure the clinician received his honorarium in the mail.

2. Make sure the person collecting tickets at the door, does so for each person entering the room. Only individuals with SCOUT passes can enter the course without a ticket. All attendees and students must have badges. 3. If you have any suggestions on how to improve our programs or the Presiding Chairman process, please feel free to stop by the Executive Headquarters located in the Crystal Palace on the 3rd Floor near Registration. We would be happy to hear your thoughts and ideas.

4. If you cannot attend your session, please notify the Committee Chairman, Name (cell phone number 000 000-0000). As difficult as it may be to find a last minute replacement, we would prefer to hear about it ASAP.

5. All volunteers helping in an educational room should complete a Volunteer CE Card (available in the Executive Office in the Crystal Palace) and remember to drop it off in the Executive Office, so we can enter you into our system and give you CE Credit for this program.

6. We might be assigning Dental Students to help you in the room, please remember to introduce yourself and welcome them.
