Convention Fee Waivers

Youth Convention Fee Waiver

CALLERLAB and the Youth Activities Committee believe that caller education is key to the continued success of Modern Western Square Dancing. Both are focused on assisting young callers by providing the skills necessary to be a leader in the square dance activity. A Convention Fee Waiver has been created as an opportunity for young callers under the age of 25 to attend their first CALLERLAB Convention.

Waiver Application

Purpose:

CALLERLAB wishes to encourage young callers to become members and engage actively in CALLERLAB activities. Therefore, as an additional incentive to attend their first Convention, the Executive Committee has authorized a waiver of Convention registration fees for all CALLERLAB Members under age 25 attending their first convention as a Member.

Requirements:

  • Applicants must be CALLERLAB Members in good standing planning to attend their first convention as a Member. Applicants must be under the age of 25 at the time of Convention.
  • Applicants must complete the enclosed application form, which includes a biography of their calling career to date, plus a statement of their future calling plans and how they expect attendance at a convention will further them.
  • The applicant is asked to submit a report to the Home Office about the experience within two weeks following the close of the Convention attended. The report should address how well they feel attending the convention met the objectives they laid out in their application. Suggestions and comments for how future Conventions could be improved to meet the needs of Youth callers would be welcome.
  • Applications for the waiver must be submitted to the CALLERLAB Home Office no later than two weeks prior to the start of the applicable Convention. Applications received after this deadline will not be considered.
