NAEAA 2010 Conference Payment options:
NAEAA prefers to receive conference payment by check but realizes that some attendees
will prefer payment by credit card.  We are therefore offering PayPal as a credit card payment
method. In order to keep costs low the PayPal registration process may appear cumbersome
so please be patient in determining which option best suites your registration plans.  Whether
paying by check or credit card (pay-pal), attendees need to complete and submit the
registration form.



Credit Card payment via Pay Pal - Payment Details

Some options for the conference are outlined below.  If an option satisfies your needs and
you wish to pay with Paypal (or a credit card), please select the appropriate Pay Button,
enter your payment information, add your name/institution in the note section and your
payment will be credited to your registration.  

EACH SELECTION IS A SEPARATE TRANSACTION.

If you want an option that is not listed, either choose and pay for each separately OR
send an email to twilliams@naeaa.com with the combination that you want and I will send
you one Paypal invoice for the appropriate amount. If you have any questions, please feel
free to email me and I will be happy to call you to discuss your options.
