registrations will be given priority. To register, simply complete the form provided and return

previous page.
Every effort will be made to hold these seminars on the dates and in the cities listed. However, due to
unforseeable circumstances, it may be necessary to reschedule some of the meetings. Should it become
necessary to cancel one or more of the seminars, the Institute assumes no liability for non-refundable
transportation costs, hotel accommodations or additional costs incurred by registrants.
