How will the hours be assigned?
Hours will be scheduled ahead of time (as much as possible) on a first-come first serve basis. Your Service Crew Application is considered complete when we have received the application, and you have paid for your conference registration. We cannot guarantee that all Service Crew members will be able to accumulate the hours they desire; however we will do our best to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to meet the minimum number of hours worked for reimbursement. We will also do our best to schedule our Service Crew members based on their areas of interest/ skill, but need folks to remain flexible so that areas in need of support are covered.
How will reimbursement work?
Service Crew members must register and pay for registration, in full, prior to the conference start. (Early Registration Prices end December 17th). Your registration refund will be based on the number of hours that you work as submitted to the National Office by the Service Crew Coordinator, Kevin Sutton.
When and how will I receive my reimbursement?
The WEA National Office will send you a reimbursement check within one month of the end of the conference.
