FINAL REMARKS

Accommodations
HRDC and NPAP have secured a fantastic room rate of $185 per night at the Marriott where the seminar will
be held, a bargain for a winter getaway in Florida. The hotel is in close proximity to numerous beaches, and
we hope that those of you in less-than-temperate winter environments will consider escaping the cold with us.
And if your family is jealous of your respite, consider bringing them along!
To register at the discounted Marriott room rate, you must register via this link before February 10th!

Accreditation
NPAP will apply to the Florida MCLE Borad for accreditation of 9 CLE credit hours.
