Speakers will be confirming as it gets closer to the time of the event and we will update the agenda as it develops.

We are working on finalizing a group hotel discount rate near the Clinton Center and will send that information along as soon as it is finalized.

REGISTRATION

You register by paying the registration fees, which are $65 for early registration until May 11, and late registration fees are $100 after May 11.

First come, first served if space runs out, and vaccinations are required: There are space limitations that are tighter than usual due to the policy of social distancing, being vaccinated, and having proof of vaccination that is required by the Clinton Center. The Delta Caucus fully supports Clinton Center policies on vaccination and social distancing.

Pay registration fees at website at www.mdgc.us: The fastest and easiest way to pay registration fees is to go on the Delta Caucus website at www.mdgc.us and go to the PayPal link at the top of the site that says “Donate.”

If you prefer to pay by check, please make out the $65 check for early registration fees to “Delta Caucus” and mail to:

5030 Purslane Place

Waldorf, MD 20601

NOTE: We will be practicing social distancing due to the virus situation, which unfortunately is likely to be with us for a substantial amount of time. The Clinton Center meeting places are spacious so we will of course hope we can find space for everybody who wants to attend. Again, if space runs out we will provide spaces on a first come, first served basis.

Late registration fees increase from $65 to to $100 after May 11 to provide an incentive to get the registration fees in on time.

Please feel free to contact other concerned citizens who would like to advocate for community and economic development in the Greater Delta Region and ask if they would like to be there. They can send in the registration fees either on the website or by check as stated above, and contact Director Lee Powell at 202-360-6347 or LeePowell@delta.comcastbiz.net if they have questions.

We have a wide range of people at our conferences, including mayors, city council members, county judges, state legislators, nonprofit executives, community-minded business leaders, universities and colleges, and specialists in key regional issues such as job creation, health care, hunger and nutrition, infrastructure improvements, Delta heritage tourism, rural development and related subjects.

If you have any questions please contact Delta Caucus Executive Director Lee Powell at (202) 360-6347 or by email at LeePowell@delta.comcastbiz.net
