Unlike in recent years, no separate brochure of session locations will be provided. To save on printing and shipping costs, the meeting program has not been mailed to members in advance. An online version of the meeting program is available on the APA website, but the online version does not include session locations. In addition, the full meeting schedule, including session locations, is contained in our new meeting app. For more information about the app and how to get it, see page 143. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT REGISTRATION Those who have not registered for the meeting in advance may register directly at the registration desk, or may register online and check in at the registration desk to pick up their badges. Meeting attendees must wear their name badges at all times during sessions and receptions, and those not doing so may be asked to show proof of registration. Any attendee who is unable to show proof of registration will be instructed to register immediately or be shown out of the meeting. Registration fees provide the major source of support for every divisional meeting. Without that income, the APA is unable to host meetings and provide quality services and resources to members. Thank you for your support and cooperation. Please note: there is a $5 charge for replacement name badges and meeting programs. 1 Special Events ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING Thursday, April 2, noon–1:00 p.m., Coquitlam (Second Floor) ANNUAL RECEPTION Thursday, April 2, 10:00 p.m.–midnight, Bayshore Ballroom Foyer (Lobby Level) Only registrants are entitled to attend the reception on April 2 at no additional charge.
