Satisfaction Guaranteed The Illinois Association of Park Districts (IAPD) and the Illinois Park and Recreation Association (IPRA) have instituted a satisfaction guaranteed policy for the Thursday pre-conference workshops. IAPD and IPRA make every effort to ensure quality programs for participants. However, if a participant is not fully satisfied with the content of the workshop, he or she may request and receive a 100% refund of the workshop fee. A participant who wishes to request a refund for a pre-conference workshop must do so no later than the end of the workshop in question. Forms will be available at the Conference Information Center/Headquarters. Any accreditation or CEUs offered will be forfeited when a refund is made. Refunds will only be made payable to the originator of the check for the workshop registration. Look for the Satisfaction Guaranteed symbols next to these workshops.
