Q & A: Day Pass

Q: Can Arrowmen obtain a "Day Pass" that would allow them to attend NOAC events without being a registered participant, if they are responsible for their own food and lodging?

A: There is no program as you describe for NOAC 2000. People are welcome to visit NOAC, but only registered participants can participate in the conference events. Some aspects of NOAC, such as looking as displays and watching some competitions, would be available to visitors. Most parts of the conference, including training sessions, shows, and participating in competitions, are reserved for registered attendees only.

As the "2000 Lodge Contingent Leader Guide", says:

"Registered Participants Only:
Only those persons officially registered with a lodge contingent or serving as approved conference staff will be allowed to participate in the national conference."

There is no one-day registration for NOAC (participants must register through their local lodge, and be present for the entire conference.) There is also no formal program or support for general visitors.

While there is not a visitor center for the conference, there are several "Info Booths" set up around the campus. They proved some basic information on what is happening where. Also, the host university usually has a visitor center for general campus information.
