NIMA 2024 Programming Procedure Updates:
NIMA offers many programs and workshops throughout the year. With increased interest from all members and Métis community in general, NIMA will be putting the following procedures in place to ensure space for those who RSVP and claim a space are attending.
If any members sign up and no-show for two workshops, they will be placed on a waitlist for workshops. The waitlist placement will be removed after one year from the last missed workshop or after two confirmed attendances at future workshops (if given space to attend). If there is space in future workshops, you will be contacted closer to the date of the event. Failure to again attend a workshop without proper notice or extenuating circumstances after being waitlisted will result in a pause in eligibility for workshops for one year.
While we want all our members to feel welcome and attend events, there is a cost consideration for all programming that has prompted these new procedures. We do not want to create barriers by requiring a workshop deposit fee, but we require folks to attend if they have registered. Please note the definition of NIMA members and associate members below:
