Refund Policy

Please email Finance for refund requests. Please provide full details of your request.
The Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer will present refund requests to the appropriate PMI VP. Decisions made by that VP will be within stated guidelines and are final and absolute, except for the “exclusions” stated below.
Refunds will only be considered if requested by email and only if they fall within the constraints listed below. All refunds will be issued via check or PayPal within 30 days of a final decision.

Chapter Dinner Meetings
If the meeting is cancelled by Upstate New York PMI for any reason you will receive a refund or credit towards a future dinner meeting, your choice.

A discounted member price will often be available to those who are active local chapter members at the time of payment.   Attendees who join the local chapter after payment will not be eligible to subsequently receive a member discount.
Refund request options:

3 days or more before the meeting: a full credit towards a future dinner meeting or special event.

Policy Exclusions
Certain events and classes may provide special, specific refund policies which would be clearly posted during event sign-up and registration, and would then supersede the above.
The elected officers of the local chapter reserve the right to collectively override this policy as they see fit, when common sense prevails or extraordinary circumstances exist with regard to a local chapter member. Such divergence from this policy would require a quorum and majority.
