Q: Will the 2020 June Professional Development Conference be held?
A: As of April 21st, the 2020 June Professional Development Conference will be held as a virtual event. The conference will start with a ‘kick-off’ session on Monday June 22nd and all sessions will be hosted and recorded.
Q: What will happen if the June Conference cannot be held during the original dates?
A: NYAAE Leadership has decided to host the June Conference as a virtual event due to the continued ban on public gatherings of any size. Workshop sessions will be hosted “LIVE” starting on June 22nd and running through June 30th.
Q: If I have not paid for my conference registration yet, what should I do?
A: Prior to April 30th, any person who was already registered for the NYAAE event will receive an e-mail that will explain the process to move forward with payment. The cost of hosting a virtual event is significantly different than an in-person conference so the e-mail will also include information regarding the finances for the event.
Q: In the event that the NYAAE Conference format is changed or cancelled, how will registrants be reimbursed?
A: Since the NYAAE Conference has been moved to a virtual format, we will reevaluate the cost of the conference and partial reimbursements will be processed prior to June 30th, 2020.
Q: What is the cost for the NYAAE Virtual Conference?
A: The cost of the NYAAE Virtual Conference is $75 for current NYAAE members; $50 for pre-service teachers; and $100 for all other agriculture teachers. Please see our newly revised Conference Brochure for more information on the cost and registration process.
Q: Who can I contact if I have questions?
A: You can always reach out to Kaylie Siddall (ksiddall@cornell.edu) or Catie Rowe (cmr323@cornell.edu) for any questions that you may have.
