USU/CAPSA Upstanding Conference POSTPONED

UPDATE:Hello!

We appreciate your registration for the Upstanding Conference that was set for March 21^st at the Eccles Conference Center on USU’s campus. In an effort to support USU and their temporary suspension of all non-essential campus activities for the next couple of weeks, due to CoVID-19 concerns, the Upstanding Conference will be postponed. We will be working with Eventbrite to schedule refunds as soon as possible. Refunds will be given to the amount of the ticket purchased but will not include additional fees through Eventbrite. If you have questions please let me know and I will do my best to work through them with you.

Although the conference is postponed, we want to ensure that you still get the opportunity to learn from our amazing line of speakers that were set to present. We will be working with our speakers to record their presentations and will launch a website before the end of May with the conference content. Information on this page and content will be shared with you as we get closer to launching. We hope you will continue on this journey with us in our virtual conference and will be back with us in person again next year for the 5^th annual Upstanding Conference!

Warm regards,
