APCA cooperative buying is a program that gives the schools attending APCA conferences the ability to merge their buying power, offering associates a block of engagement dates in a specified time period in exchange for a lower price and sharing of travel costs with other schools. The time periods that schools can agree to set-up a block are:
Isolated - A single date, usually not including travel and lodging. 2 of 3 days, 3 of 5 days, and 5 of 7 days. (# of shows within a # of day(s) time period, travel and lodging are often shared evenly by the schools booking the attraction.) A typical cooperative pricing schedule in the conference program might be:
John Doe: Comedian Represented by ABC Agency: Isolated $1200 2 of 3 $1100 3 of 5 $1050 5 of 7 $950 (Plus travel & lodging, shared travel & lodging in blocks)
Travel and lodging costs may often be agreed to onsite by filling out a cooperative buying form and detailing the arrangements in the co-op travel rider section. Any arrangements detailed in the travel rider section of a co-op form and initialed by both parties will overide any other prices or agreements in the conference program or other verbal or written arrangements made before the signing of the form and may not be changed without the consent of both parties. The sample cooperative buying form on the following page is the form your school can use to lock in a price on a performing artist at an APCA programming conference. When a school is interested in an artist from the conference showcases, the cooperative buyer may sign a co-op form, indicating their school’s interest in hosting the attraction during their schedule.
The forms are then collected at the APCA cooperative buying booth in the exhibit hall and discussed with other interested schools in the cooperative buying sessions. These sessions are held to give your school the opportunity to combine your buying power with other schools in your geographical area to reduce talent and travel prices. For more information on the Cooperative Buying process, attend the APCA conference co-op buying educational session or contact Rita Goyette.
Note: APCA cooperative buying Rules are displayed on the reverse of cooperative forms for handy reference at APCA confer- ences. APCA rules are also listed in the conference program and are subject to change. Any questions on APCA cooperative buying may be forwarded to the National Office at (800) 681-5031.
ADDITIONAL CO-OP DISCOUNTS!
Onsite Purchasing Discounts
Participating associates offer a 10% discount on any published price (isolated or block) to schools willing to book onsite by us- ing either a “request contract (RC)” or “commitment to block (CB)” form. This discount is in addition to any other block discounts available. Look for a sign in the associate members’ booths indicating their participation in the onsite discount program.
FTE Cards
Some APCA associates have joined in a program where participating member schools utilize an “FTE” (full time enrollment) discount card. Based on the full-time enrollment status of the campus, a school may receive between 3% to 7% off the listed price of a participating artist or other attraction. This discount is in addition to any other onsite discount or block price discount, but the artist or attraction must be booked onsite using either a “request contract (RC)” or “commitment to block (CB)” form. The breakdown of the school FTE discount is as follows:
Below 3,000 FTE 7% 3,000 - 4,999 FTE 5% 5,000 - 9,999 FTE 3%
This program is completely voluntary. Schools requesting discount must show FTE Card issued by APCA National Office to participating associates upon request in order to receive discount. Look for a sign in the associate members’ booth indicating their participation in the FTE discount program. The onsite and FTE status of an artist will also be noted in their conference bio!
5 APCA CO-OP POLICIES AND TYPES OF INTEREST DEFINITIONS I. TYPES OF INTEREST
Attraction Interest - (This option commits neither party to a binding contract, it only retains the option for the purchaser to purchase at the published APCA conference program price for up to 21 days after the conference). When an attraction interest is indicated on a submitted and signed cooperative buying form, the school has indicated that it is strongly interested in purchas- ing the attraction. If the interested school wishes to book an attraction at isolated convention price structure or join a block, the attractions representative must be notified within 21 calendar days. All requested additions to a formed block are subject to reasonable travel and time constraints as determined by the conference cooperative buying coordinator, with final approval resting with the APCA.
SAMPLE Commitment to Block - When a commitment to block form is turned in to the Cooperative Buying center in the exhibit hall, the school has expressed their interest to enter into a contract if a block of as many as two schools are interested in the act on the specific date(s) they have requested. If the block forms within 21 calendar days, the schools agreeing to the block must contract at the block price listed for that number plus any travel and lodging, lights, sound, etc. listed for the attraction in the APCA convention program or agreed to by cooperative buying form rider.
Request Contract - You have agreed to purchase this attraction on site at the convention and are bound to the terms of the contract signed by both parties. Both parties agree to honor all APCA cooperative buying process guidelines and procedures as set forth in the APCA conven- tion program. HOTEL LAYOUT LOBBY LEVEL

HILARY CORNA speaks to thousands of students a year with her motivational and educational lead- ership program: “Dare to Eat the Eyeball: How to be a Global Leader”, which is used by SGA, Ori- entation, Leadership Conferences, Res life and for Women’s History Month to help increase student engagement, inclusiveness, retention and develop student leaders with a global perspective. With over 50% of new graduates and millennials disliking their job and happiness research showing us that money only makes you happy 10% of the time (90% of happiness is intrinsic), Hilary founded the #DareYourself campaign to teach students how to lead themselves, a mandatory skill in order to lead others. Using the methodology of Daring Leadership, this authentic, thought-provoking, in- teractive session helps your school motivate students to challenge their fears, empower them to take action on campus, step up into new roles, and walk away with the tools to lead communities of engaged, inclusive happy students. As Author of the book, One White Face, Former Executive for Toyota Asia, World Traveler, and First-Gen College Student, Hilary uses stories from her work abroad, like buying a one-way ticket to Singapore and working as the only caucasian at Toyota, to give this modern twist on leadership from a female voice. Hilary has been featured on TED, ForbesWoman, The New York Times, NBC, and is a Coca Cola Scholar. And she can’t wait to have a little girl so that she can dress her in Hello Kitty. Are you ready to #DareYourself? (800) 723-0537 - [email protected]

It can drive you crazy, but it always brings you home. And it’s at the absolute core of THE DOYLE BROTH- ERS. Having been lovingly described as “young guys doing old songs in a new way”, the duo of Todd and Ryan Doyle stem from a rich musical heritage that was inescapable. During their formative year, their house was constantly filled with influences coming from the record or tape collections, radio stations or just fooling around singing. The vocalizing may have come naturally, but it wasn’t until they were in their late teens that their efforts to play in a group came to fruition. Their 10-plus year tenure has brought them the opportunity to share the main stage of the Hard Rock Calling Festival with Sir Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Crosby Stills, & Nash, Crowded House, Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam, Corinne Bailey Rae, The Gaslight Anthem, and more.

If ANY of the following apply to you or your students YOU need CSA Training:
Advisors, are you a: • Campus activities advisor or student life advisor? • Someone who oversees student housing, a student center, or extracurricular activities? • Director of athletics, a team coach, or a faculty advisor to a student group? • Coordinator of Greek affairs? • Student counselor or advisor? • Member of a judicial committee, or at all involved in the disciplinary process?
Students do you: • Work as an RA? • Take tickets at your campus events? • Check IDs at campus events or in a campus facility like a gym or dining hall? • Have a student job assisting students, like an assistant coach, trainer, or manager? • Have responsibility for or monitor entrance to any campus property, like a parking lot or building? • Work at an information kiosk or help desk on campus? • Assist with Greek housing? • Escort students around campus after dark, or offer rides or assistance to other students? • Volunteer on a judicial committee? The US Department of Education and the Federal Bureau of Investigation admit that, to date, compliance with the Clery Act by most schools is abysmal. Many six figure fines later and compliance is still far below par. The biggest problem at most schools is a lack of training for their CSAs. Why? Because, thus far, CSA training has been expensive and hard to find. No longer! Now, you can train your CSAs here at APCA! 32 [1] All definitions quoted from 34 CFR 668.46(a)(4) [“DEFINITIONS: Campus Security Authority”] 9:00 AM EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS
