CANCELLATION POLICY
As an engagement and funding partner of AFA, we value your support. For 28 years, partners have invested their dollars in our nonprofit programming to help guide the next generation of agriculture and food leaders. Because we are committed to being good stewards of those dollars, we have implemented a cancellation policy for 2025 AFA Leader Institutes to help direct that funding toward growing the number of students we serve each year. Our goal for this policy is to work with our partners in establishing deadlines when confirming/making changes regarding your teams’ engagement. With the rise of costs associated with in the hospitality industry (AV, caterings, lodging, etc.) this policy will help mitigate the financial risks AFA is liable for regarding cancellations that fall outside the calendar parameters set by third party vendors. Adjustments or cancellations to your registration must be made through mercedes.roesch@agfuture.org by March 20th.
March 20: Deadline to register/confirm participation at 2025 AFA Animal Institute – this includes speaker roles.
March 27: Speakers: last day to cancel team members and replace with other team members. If a team member is unable to participate in the program following this day, no other team member from company will be able to participate/replace that individual unless specified by AFA staff member.
