How to Register

Early registration is suggested for all workshops.  We will not be able to consider you registered until we receive payment. Cost is $15 per workshop. However, if you register and pay for 3 workshops in advance, the fee will be $10 each, $30 total.  Total payment must be made by the early registration date of the first workshop you want to attend.  We cannot refund registration fees or exchange workshops.  You may transfer the workshop to another provider if you cannot attend.  We hope this helps with your planning and avoids any last minute cancellations of workshops due to low attendance.

If a workshop is cancelled due to bad weather or low registration, we will make every effort to contact those who preregister and give you credit.  

Emergency Contact phone number during trainings is 607-273-6590 ext. 237.

At every training you are asked to complete an evaluation.  The last question – “What ideas do you have for other workshops?” is an opportunity for Council staff to survey your needs and try to schedule workshops you have asked for. In addition to topic areas, if you have heard a particularly good presenter, feel free to pass on the suggestion; please include your name so we can contact you for details.
