In the interest of protecting AFA sponsor resources, the following cancellation practices will be followed.

AFA Leaders Conference

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 are implementing a new cancellation policy for 2024 AFA Leaders Conference 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. 
As one of our main contacts for partnership, please help us in making sure this policy is communicated to your team members planning to attend Leaders Conference in November. Adjustments or cancellations to your registration must be made through mercedes.roesch@agfuture.org
