MEMBERSHIP

This is a requirement to compete at the SLC and/or Nationals in June. All competitors must pay the national

REGISTRATION
Please be sure that all the people you are registering for the Educators Rising SLC will attend.
Refunds will NOT be issued once you have registered. Educators Rising Virginia incurs financial
obligations in advance of the SLC, including but not limited to, conference space, custodial support
for the event, competition supplies, awards, and food for attendees. Educators Rising Virginia does
not receive any CTSO funds from state-level membership dues and is required to cover SLC
expenses through SLC registration fees.

REGISTRATION FEE
  • The registration fee is $35 per person. Each school attending is provided with one complimentary teacher leader registration and on complimentary student registration.
CHANGES
  • Changes (substitutions and/or additions only) to your registration are permitted through 5 p.m. on February 13, 2026.
  • Chapters are financially responsible for all persons registered on the final day of substitution,
         regardless of whether they attend SLC or not.
  • No invoice adjustments will be made after the final registration due date, February 13, 2026,​ at 5 p.m.

PAYMENT
  • Preferred payment is by credit/debit card. If paying in this way, you will receive a link from the Henrico Education Foundation to make payment.
  • If paying by check, payment must be received by Friday, February 20, 2026, to attend the Educators Rising Virginia SLC.
  • In the event your chapter’s payment has not been received five (5) days prior to the deadline, you will be notified via email.
  • If your Chapter’s invoice is not paid in full by the deadline, registrants will be ineligible to attend the Educators Rising Virginia SLC. This does not, however, exempt payment. Chapters are financially responsible for all persons registered, regardless of whether they attend the conference or not.
  • If checks for conference fees are sent by individuals, rather than a school check, the Educators Rising Virginia chapter will be responsible for payment if the check does not clear the bank and must pay any additional bank fees charged to process the returned check.
  • It is the Chapter’s responsibility to see that an invoice is paid on time even if a school division is paying for its registrants.
  • If you anticipate a delay in payment, please contact Robin Rowland, [email protected] and Heather Jones, [email protected].
