How can my student chapter pay for Convention?

Additional ideas for fundraising can be found in the Fundraising Handbook. Student chapters can increase this amount to have more available at the time of registration
How does my student chapter gain access to the money in our Convention Savings Plan?
Upon registration, the money set aside in the Convention Savings Plan will automatically be applied to your registration fee total.
Can my student chapter use the money in our Convention Savings Plan at the Principled Business Leadership Institute to pay for the discounted registration rate?
Yes. Your CSP money may be used at PBLI to pay for the discounted registration rate with the approval of the chapter president or other member of the chapter executive board.
As a student registrant, do I need to sign up for the add-on events at the same time I register for the rest of the Convention?
