Required Acknowledgement of Attendance Requirements:

One of the main benefits of this program is the knowledge and idea-sharing that will accompany each module. Therefore, attendance by all fellows at every module is of utmost importance.

By checking this box, if accepted into the program, you are agreeing to attend all required modules, including the THA 2022 Annual Conference and Expo, and are acknowledging the importance of regular attendance.

Please note: Attendees who do not complete each required module will not be able to participate in the recognition ceremony at the THA 2022 Annual Conference, nor will they be granted their certification of completion.

I acknowledge that committing to attend each required module is of utmost importance and attendance at each module is required in order to receive my certificate and graduate as a THA fellow.
