In the event of overbooking, you will be contacted by the event organizer. We will start a waiting list for Monthly Meetings, Events and Interest Group activities in case there are any cancellations. If we receive cancellations, you will be notified.
Cancellation Policy
The ZIWA Cancellation Policy applies to all events that involve a monetary payment. A member who cancels her participation in an event after the cancellation deadline will be charged the admission price of the Monthly Meeting or Event or the cost for the Interest Group activity, where it states Cancellation Policy Applies.The cancellation deadline for events is the reservation deadline unless stated otherwise.
Even when the Cancellation Policy does not apply, members are kindly asked to cancel as soon as possible if they are not able to attend an event. Such a courtesy will allow any members and guests on the waiting list to participate.
Guest Policy
Generally, there is a NO GUESTS policy for events that are heavily subsidized.ZIWA members always have priority and guests may attend ZIWA events only when space permits and if approved by the Board. The guest fee to be charged is 100% of the cost per person. It is the responsibility of the ZIWA member to inform the event's organizer when bringing a guest.
Guests attending monthly meetings or interest groups should be advised by their hostesses of the guest policy.
The ZIWA member is responsible for paying the non-member guest fee. Guests may not attend the activities or programs more than 3 times. On the third time, it is expected that they join ZIWA on or before that occasion.
