  Cost:
  
  $50 for Non-USHF Members
  $35 for USHF Members
  
  At Registration you can become a USHF member for $15 therefore making your registration fee $50…so you might as well join USHF so that your next seminar fee will only be $35, but the choice is always yours.
  
  If you are a USHF member dues are paid in either the spring or fall. Try to keep track of when you need to pay dues so that you will not have an extra $15 fee to pay unexpectedly. If you are affiliated with a school, they should be keeping a current roster and can therefore tell you when your dues need to be paid and if this is the case, you should be paying your dues to your school who will then forward the appropriate amount to USHF.
  
  Another payment option is purchasing a life membership which, as the name indicates, will grant you access to all USHF Seminars for free for life. The cost of a life membership is $150.
  
  And finally, USHF apparel and patches are always available for purchase at the seminars so bring extra money if you are interested in purchasing any USHF apparel.
  
  Board of Governors and Board of Examiners meetings will follow after the seminar.
  
  Order of events:
  
  9:30 – 10:00: Registration
  
  Try to arrive a little early so that we can start on time; registration always takes more time than planned.
  
  IMPORTANT:
  
  USHF Schools must bring an updated roster with USHF membership details in order for students to receive school membership discount. See our website for membership details or speak with the USHF Secretary at the event.
