Conference Policies
Updated August 2024
These policies serve as an organizational tool for all CSEA Conference committees to maintain consistency and uniformity from year-to-year and across all conferences. They are developed with input from previous conference teams and have been adopted by the Board of Directors. Note: Any exceptions to the Conference Policies are rare and must be approved by the Board Liaison for each conference and Executive Director.
