Message from Diane McGeorge Regarding 2016 Washington Seminar Reservations
 
This message is to advise you all that Washington Seminar will be held
January 24-28, 2016, with the Great Gathering In taking place on Monday
January 25. Additionally, I wanted to inform you that I will no longer be
managing reservations for this event. With the Holiday Inn Capitol's
progressive policy changes and renovations having been completed, it seemed
like a natural progression that we turn the reservations over to the hotel.
We no longer need to document special requests such as smoking or
non-smoking rooms, refrigerators in rooms or request for rollaway beds since
the rooms now have queen beds and can no longer accommodate rollaways. The
reservation process has become very standard, requiring check-in and
check-out dates only, just as you experience with national conventions. This
process will allow you to have full control of your reservations and any
changes you need to make.
 
You can now reserve a room at the Holiday Inn Capitol (550 C Street, SW,
Washington, DC 20024) for Washington Seminar with check-in beginning
Saturday, January 23, 2016, check-out by Friday, January 29, 2016. The rate
is $184.00 per night. This rate does not include DC sales tax, currently
14.5%. You may begin booking reservations directly online here
<http://ichotelsgroup.com/redirect?path=rates&brandCode=HI&regionCode=1&loca
leCode=en&GPC=N9B&hotelCode=WASSM&_PMID=99801505> . You may also make
reservations by calling (877) 572-6951 and referencing booking code N9B.
Credit card information is needed at the time of reservation. Individual
cancellation policy is seventy-two hours prior to your date of arrival to
avoid a one night's room plus tax cancellation charge on the credit card
provided. Please call (877) 572-6951 and reference your confirmation number.
Please obtain a cancellation number when cancelling a reservation. The firm
deadline date to make a reservation is Monday, December 21, 2015.
Reservation requests received after the deadline date will be subject to
availability and prevailing rate.
 
If you wish to hold a special meeting during Washington Seminar, please
email Lisa Bonderson at lbonderson at cocenter.org just as you have done in
past years. She and I will work with the hotel on the assignment of those
meeting rooms. To ensure that you get the space you need, please let us know
of your meeting space needs by Thursday, December 10, 2015.
 
Lisa and I will always be available to help you with any problems you might
experience with this new system of booking of your hotel reservations, but
we have worked closely with the hotel staff and they are looking forward to
working with each affiliate or group wishing to make reservations.
 
See you in Washington!
 
Diane
