These forms are being sent to the registered Chapter Secretary and need to be filled out and mailed, emailed or faxed to the AHEPA Headquarters on or BEFORE JUNE 1, 2016. Please note the deadline JUNE 1, 2016

2. The delegate strength of your chapter is written on the form and it is computed by your yearend membership total. Please look at the sheet and fill it out immediately and send to AHEPA headquarters.

4. AHEPA has not committed to booking suites for the convention, suites will be purchased by attendees on a first come first serve basis and on space availability. The room rate is subject to changes on a daily basis, so if you need a suite, please contact the hotel and tell them you are coming for the AHEPA convention and you need a suite, headquarters HAS NO SUITES, please make those arrangements on your own.
