Are you waiting for the new fiscal year to begin, or are you in the midst of hiring new employees?  Future employees can be registered before they are hired!  Plus, they can join PCACAC in the registration form and automatically receive the member registration discount. Membership costs $55, and we'll extend their membership through September 30, 2025, so why not get the most for your money?  

Registration Tips:

  • If you are registering a current PCACAC member, please enter THEIR PCACAC username and password to access the form. DO NOT enter your own.
  • If you are registering someone who is NOT a current PCACAC member, enter THEIR email address in the NEW USER section of the registration form. DO NOT use your email address.
  • If you would like to register new staff but do not yet know who they are, you may register using a "fake" email address (i.e., [email protected], [email protected], etc.). Enter TBD for their name(s) and be sure to include your information under the "Additional Contact Information" section on the registration form so we know who to send a copy of the invoice/receipt to. Once you know their name and email, please send their information to [email protected] (due by Monday, July 1.).

PCACAC reserves the right to cancel an event if there is insufficient registration.
