Updated BucksMont Registration Fees
 
BMPA has revised the conference reimbursement policy.  Starting with the Annual Conference in September 2016, BMPA will now reimburse members for a portion of their registration fees associated with attending PPA conferences.   The reimbursement structure is as follows:
Pharmacists and Technicians will receive a  $150 reimbursement for Full Conference Registration,  $100 for Two Day Registration  and $50 for Friday or Saturday only registration.
Students will receive a $100 reimbursement for any out of pocket registration expenses.  Any expenses paid for by outside sources (such as a school scholarship fund, special account or employer) are not reimbursable.
All members must email a copy of their paid invoice to John Gatto, BMPA treasurer (johngatto@mac.com).   Please indicate a mailing address in the body of the email.  All invoices should be emailed either prior to the conference date or no later than two weeks after the conference.  Reimbursement checks will be mailed 4 to 6 weeks later.
