Hi Shonda,

Unfortunately as of yesterday our webmaster Brian Mackey has still not put the accessible registration form on our website. Both Maryanne and Lucia have been working to impress upon him how important and timely it is to get this done. Everyone will be notified on the listserv as soon as it becomes available. Take care!

Sincerely,
