Please read all of the instructions below carefully BEFORE completing this form.
Your completed form may be faxed to ESA Headquarters at (202) 833-8775, scanned and
sent as an email message attachment to [email protected], or mailed to 1990 M Street,
NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20036 USA. Full payment for fees due MUST accompany
your Supplemental Registration Form. All fees are quoted in US Dollars. Payment may be
made by business check, personal check, travelers’ check, money order, or credit card.
(Credit card payments will not be processed unless the expiration date is provided.)
Payments must be made in US Dollars and checks must be payable to the Ecological
Society of America. ESA accepts credit card payments by MasterCard or VISA ONLY. ESA
does NOT accept American Express, Discover, or Diners Club. ESA also does NOT accept
purchase orders. The ESA Federal ID number is 37-0913411.
All sections of the Supplemental Registration Form marked with an asterisk (*) MUST be
filled out completely. Complete Section B and pay the $45.00 Guest Fee to register an adult
(i.e., person age 18 or older) who will accompany you as a guest at the ESA 100th Annual
Meeting. This will provide him/her with LIMITED access to meeting programs and amenities.
For details, visit www.esa.org/baltimore/registration/registration-fees. If an adult will
accompany you at the meeting and he/she wishes to attend the full scientific program, he/
she MUST complete a separate Meeting Registration Form and pay applicable fees to
register independently. You may register each child or youth (infant through 17 years of
age) who will accompany you at the meeting at no charge. (See Section C.) Registered
children and youths are entitled to the same LIMITED access to meeting programs and
amenities as registered adult guests.
ESA reserves the right to cancel any activity for which the minimum enrollment is not
reached and will post updates on filled or canceled activities on the Annual Meeting page of
the ESA website as Annual Meeting Alerts. (See www.esa.org/baltimore.) Because
cancellation decisions will be made in mid-June, we urge you to register for optional Field
Trips and/or Workshops (see Sections E and F) no later than Thursday, June 18, 2015. You
are responsible for reading and adhering to the provisos outlined in information posted
about these activities on the ESA website. Also, because many
Field Trips and Workshops occur concurrently – either on the same days or during
overlapping time slots – please be sure not to register for more than one activity
during any given time slot.
To register as a member of the media (with press credentials) or a pre-approved
VIP guest, please provide your contact information either via email to Liza Lester,
ESA Communications Officer ([email protected]), or Tricia Crocker, ESA Registrar
([email protected]), respectively, or by telephone at 202-833-8773. Members of the media,
