Concerned about attending the conference in New Orleans?
Don’t be.
The 18th Annual Midwest Stream Farmworker Health Forum
is proceeding as planned. We cannot foresee the future,
but in the event of a natural disaster prior to the conference
which New Orleans would be unable to recover from, registration
fees and hotel fees will be fully refunded. The Sheraton
New Orleans Hotel has assured us that any hotel advance
reservation fees will be fully refunded. Guests also have
72 hours prior to the arrival date to cancel their reservation
with no penalties.
We will continue to post updates as the conference date
approaches. If you have any questions please contact Moraima
Duran at duran@ncfh.org or by calling 512-312-5461. See
you in The Big Easy!
