No-Show Billing Policy
The Central Iowa Chapter of ARMA has a no-show billing policy for all of our meetings. This means that if you say you are going to attend, and do not provide a 24-hour notice of cancellation, you will be billed for the meeting cost. This is necessary because the chapter incurs costs based on the number of reservations made.
