Event Refund Policy
• Refunds or account credits are available for cancellations received before the registration deadline or, if applicable, before the date of a price increase, whichever occurs first.
• No refunds are available after that date because LWVPBC makes financial commitments to the event venue based on registration counts.
• After that date, a registrant who cancels without arranging for a specific replacement may receive an account credit if someone on the waiting list registers and pays for the vacated spot. The credit will be issued only after payment from the replacement registrant is received.
Notice of cancellation may be sent to info@lwvpbc.org or to the event contact(s). If you don't specify the name of a replacement, LWVPBC will try to get a replacement from the waiting list.
