 iation has gone to great lengths and expense to negotiate and contract for
  a reduced room rate at conference hotels.&nbsp\;That rate is based upon t
 he projected attendance at the meeting.&nbsp\;If <g class="gr_ gr_99 gr-al

 s\, it subjects the association to attrition penalties that can cause sign
 ificant financial loss to the association.&nbsp\;We count on our corporate
  community to support the association\, and one of the ways to do that is 
 to honor our efforts to secure a sufficiently large room block at a reduce
 d rate at a first class hotel/conference venue. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p> </
 p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>For these reasons\, corporate member and <g class="gr_ gr

 del" id="107" data-gr-id="107">nonmember</g> attendees are prohibited from
  holding any meetings (briefings\, seminars\, etc.) within a 25-mile radiu
 s\, targeting professional\, continuing\, and online leaders in higher edu
 cation during the scheduled hours of UPCEA events unless otherwise negotia
 ted and scheduled with and by UPCEA. Any such meeting occurring within 36 
 hours before or after the UPCEA conference must be coordinated with UPCEA 
 and\, space permitting\, be held at the conference hotel.&nbsp\; This poli
 cy helps ensure that the association&rsquo\;s contracted obligations to th
 e hotel for guest rooms and food and beverage minimums are met\, which is 
 essential for the financial health of the association and its members. If 
 UPCEA cannot find space for the corporate member or <g class="gr_ gr_109 g

 d="109" data-gr-id="109">nonmember</g> attendee&rsquo\;s event at the cont
 racted hotel\, we will work to help find alternative space.&nbsp\; In no c
 ircumstances\, however\, is it permissible for a corporate member or nonme
 mber attendee to contract a separate hotel block\, either at the conferenc
 e hotel or elsewhere.&nbsp\; </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>UPCEA
