&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cancellations received more than 30 days out are refunded minus a $100 administrative fee. Cancellations received less than 30 days are non-refundable.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Member Company Attendance:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
1. Attendees representing member companies must meet criteria set by the Board.&lt;br&gt;
2. Individuals from member organizations may participate in ETDA core activities only if they are owners, principles or full-time employees of member organizations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ETDA Summit Guest Attendance Expectations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SUMMIT GUEST PROCESS &amp;amp; REGISTRATION:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Summits are ETDA’s primary experience that bring in new member companies. As such, the Board requests that member companies think first and foremost about inviting guests who meet the criteria for membership and who are interested in having their organization become a member.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font face="PT Sans" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Members who invite guests must show the &lt;a href="https://www.etdalliance.com/page-796343"&gt;&lt;font color="#0000FF"&gt;Fit Assessment&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="https://www.etdalliance.com/page-761464"&gt;&lt;font color="#0000FF"&gt;DeEP Document&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to their prospective guest so they are familiar with ETDA’s mindset and what membership fit looks like. This makes the process of becoming a member after the Summit much easier and clearer. Summit Committee members are responsible for ensuring that the sponsoring member individual has had a conversation about the Fit Assessment with any prospective Summit guests. (Both documents are available on the ETDA &lt;a href="https://www.etdalliance.com/"&gt;&lt;font color="#0000FF"&gt;website).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font face="PT Sans" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Guests pay an additional fee to attend the Summit. If a sponsoring member’s guest is a fit for joining, the sponsoring member is the first point of encouragement for the guest to become a member. If the guest initiates the membership process within 30 days of the Summit, then $200 of their summit fee is applied toward their company’s membership fee.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;font face="PT Sans" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;If a member individual wants to invite a guest who isn’t a candidate for membership, our ETDA Community asks that you consider thoroughly:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="PT Sans" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Do they engage in work that is similar to ETDA members?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="PT Sans" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Are they a consultant or coach who can contribute to our/their personal and professional growth during the Summit?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

      &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="PT Sans" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Will they engage in business owner-level dialogue?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="PT Sans"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="PT Sans" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Guests may only attend once as a Summit guest.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Payment Options&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Payments can be made directly through our website or &lt;em&gt;offline&lt;/em&gt; either by Zelle or a check. Paying &lt;em&gt;offline&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;benefits the company by cutting down on CC fees. Please use info@edtalliance.com as a Zelle username and mail checks to Dan Miller, 81 Shope Creek Rd.&amp;nbsp; Asheville, NC 28805&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
