We are very grateful to the nearly 2,500 registrants who overcame difficult travel conditions to attend last week’s joint annual meeting. At the same time, we are aware that some members who had registered in advance were unable to come to Chicago because their initial airline reservations were canceled, and their carriers could not put them on different flights in time to attend the meeting. APA and AIA carry “convention cancellation insurance” for such events, and next week we will announce a procedure by which affected individuals can apply for refunds of advance registration fees.
