Code of Conduct:
Registration for this and all NATLE events indicates that you have read and accepted NATLE's Code of Conduct.

We're excited that you're registering with NATLE for the GAC.  The next step is to reserve your hotel accommodations at The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa under the room block "NATLE Governmental Affairs Conference" before midnight on October 14.  For best results, please make hotel reservations by calling the hotel (#TBD) and identifying yourself as part of the NATLE GAC Meeting.  If you use Expedia or any other reservation avenue, we are not able to count your room against our contract and it may contribute to an unmet obligation.

Rates are $255++/night for Thursday, Nov 5 through Monday, Nov 9.  Cancellations accepted up to 5 days prior to arrival.

The nearest airport is TUC.

The NATLE cancellation policy applies to all paid meeting events, including social events. All cancellations or changes must be received in writing. Cancellations received on or before October 5 will receive 100% of the registration fee as credit or refund. Cancellations received between October 6 and October 20 will receive 50% of the registration fee as credit toward a future event. We regret that due to guarantees required by the hotel, no credit/refund can be given after October 20. Thank you for understanding that your request for an exception to this policy will cost NATLE money.
