VAIS Programs Inclement Weather Guidelines*
VAIS advises registrants to use their best judgment when traveling to any VAIS program.
In case of inclement weather either on a single-day VAIS workshop or on the first day of a multi-day VAIS program:
If the speaker has been able to travel to the program location, the program will be held as planned. If a registrant is uncomfortable with traveling and chooses not to attend the program, then it is the registrant's responsibility to identify a replacement. No refunds will be issued.
If the speaker is unable to present for the program, VAIS will take the following steps to inform participants of the postponement and/or cancellation of the program:
- An announcement will be posted on the event page for the program (page where you registered) as early as 5:00 AM the morning of the program.
- If VAIS learns a day or more in advance of the program that the speaker is unable to present, VAIS will contact registrants immediately by email.
*The above guidelines do not apply to the VAIS Annual Conference nor to the VAIS Heads of School Conference. Check your email for any updates or changes.
