If you have not registered for the Latin American Regional meeting, I encourage you to so at http://www.regonline.com/lima08. A registration fee is assessed to all agencies whether or not you attend the meeting.  The registration fee is estimated to be approximately one half of the combined costs of the meeting and is due 15 days before the meeting.  A $50 late fee will be assessed for registration fees paid after the due date. After the meeting, each attendee will be invoiced for his share of the remaining combined costs (i.e. meeting room, AV equipment, transportation, administration, and restaurant/bar).

Members attending pay their own transportation and hotel room costs. Companions are always welcome to attend the meetings and will be invoiced for their share of meals and other applicable expenses For all meetings, a cancellation fee will be assessed to those who have signed-up and then do not attend or do not send a replacement (approximately one-half of the actual cost).  Cancellation must be made to ICOM headquarters in writing two weeks before the meeting to avoid this fee.

The member agencies listed below have unpaid invoices that are over 90 days past due:

After last month’s broad-ranging OFF=ON trend, we thought we’d focus on something more contained this month: PERKONOMICS. It’s an easy-to-apply trend, covering the rise of novel perks and privileges that deliver on consumers’ need for status, convenience and, in these turbulent times, a little bit of empathy.
