209th ACS National Meeting Anaheim HOUSING Room Reservations. Mail the housing form (see page 58) for the official hotels listed on page 56, to ACS, Meetings Department, P.O. Box 18598,20th St. Station, Washington, D.C. 20036-8598. Reservations at the ACS rate cannot be made directly with the hotels and cannot be made by telephone. Requests may be faxed to (202) 872-4081, but please do not send a second copy by regular mail, since this will result in duplicate reservations. (Because of the large volume, we are unable to confirm receipt of faxes.) Use a separate form for each room requested. Registrants sharing a doublebedded room should use one form listing the names of all occupants. Reservations will be processed on a first-come, firstserved basis only. Please note at least four choices when making your selection. If all the hotels you've requested are sold out, the next available hotel will be assigned according to your location and rate preference. Deadline for receipt of all housing transactions is March 3. Reservations will be acknowledged directly to the individual listed on the reservation form, indicating the assigned hotel, rate, and room guarantee information. Please allow at least 10 business days for processing a request. Requests received after the deadline will be returned. Occasionally, housing requests are sent but not received by ACS. You may confirm your reservation two weeks after sending it by calling the ACS Housing Bureau. Sometimes, ACS acknowledgments are mailed but are never received by the guest. Please do not assume you were assigned any of your hotel choices. If you do not receive an acknowledgment in the mail approximately three weeks after sending your housing form, you should call the ACS Housing Bureau at (202) 872-6008 and confirm your hotel assignment. Housing applies to March 29 through April 7 only. If you wish to extend your stay beyond the time of the meeting (arriving before March 29, departing after April 7), you must make reservations for the additional nights directly with your assigned hotel. Accommodations are available for guests with disabilities. If you require special accommodations because of a disability, please mark the appropriate box on your housing form. Do not send a check to ACS. If you provide a credit card number, it will be forwarded to the hotel to guarantee your reservation. If you do not provide a credit card number, you will need to guarantee your room directly to your assigned hotel within 10 days of the date on your

ACS housing acknowledgment. If you do not have a credit card, payment for your entire stay may be required upon checkin. Failure to guarantee your reservation directly with your assigned hotel can result in cancellation of your room reservation. Some hotels may elect to charge a one night's deposit on your credit card upon receipt of your reservation rather than wait until you arrive. Don't be a no show. Failure to cancel a guaranteed reservation can result in a one night's charge to your credit card by the hotel. Changes in arrival /departure dates or cancellations by March 3 should be faxed or mailed to ACS. After March 3, all correspondence concerning housing matters, including cancellations and changes, should be made directly with the hotel. A map indicating hotel locations appears on page 56. Hotel codes, names, addresses, ACS guaranteed rates, and other hotel information are also on page 56. Be sure to provide all the information requested on the ACS housing form. All hotels on the ACS housing list that are not within walking distance of the Convention Center will have access to a complimentary shuttle, Sunday through Thursday.

There are two NECH registration options available to employers: full service and minimum service. To obtain NECH employer registration forms, contact the Department of Career Services [call (800) 227-5558 and press 9, 1, 3 or e-mail [email protected]] no later than Friday, March 17. The full-service option enables employers who are on site at NECH to interview as many candidates as time and interest permit. Employers registering for the full-service option may post an unlimited number of positions for candidate review, will have unlimited access to all candidate files registered with NECH, may schedule interviews at will, and will be provided with NECH interview space. A limited number of 8- x 10-foot private interview offices are made available by request for an additional fee. Full-service employers may register for NECH either in advance or on site; however, those registering in advance will receive a discount.

charged as on-site registrations. All NECH fees are invoiced within 30 days following the meeting. The minimum-service option has two components. The first is for employers who will not be attending the meeting. These employers may post as many positions as they wish in absentia for candidates to review. Interested candidates will then contact employers as directed on the position-available form. Resumes and messages left for absentee employers at the NECH employer message center will be forwarded following the meeting. A complete set of candidate summary forms is available to absentee employers for an additional fee. All minimumservice registrations for absentee employers must be received no later than Friday, March 24. Positions received after March 24 cannot be guaranteed to be posted at NECH.

The second component is for employers who will be in attendance at the meeting but will have limited time to devote to NECH. These employers may also post positions as absentee employers, but have the ability to review candidate files at will for future contact. This component allows employers registered for the minimum-service option who are on site to review candidate files whether or not they post positions. Minimum-service employers reviewing candidate files may not send messages through the NECH message system, nor may they schedule and hold interviews in any part of the NECH area. They may, however, receive any messages left for them in the employer center. Any minimum-service employer wishing to upgrade to the full-service option may do so at the employer registration counter. All NECH fees are invoiced within 30 days following the meeting.
