F.A.Q.

Can I split one Institute registration fee with my assistant principal, I can only go for one day, and I want them to go another day? Splitting an Institute registration fee with principals within the same building or district is NOT permitted. A registration fee is good for one person to attend Institute.

Do I need to be a MESPA member to attend?
Yes, with the exception of non-members from out-of-state, they are welcome to register for $700. MASSP members can register for $575 with Early Bird registration until January 15th. After that date the fee will be $650. Contact MESPA for the MASSP registration code!

I'm an aspiring principal. Is this conference relevant to me?
YES and you will be welcomed with open arms! Join MESPA as an aspiring member and you can attend the conference for just $150!

Are meals included with registration? Yes, if you are a full-paying registrant (ie: not an Aspiring or Retired member) meals are included. For other levels, you can add meal tickets to your registration on-site!

Do you accept credit cards?
Yes! You can pay with a check or credit card. There is an extra $15 charge for credit cards to cover the processing fee.

How do I book my hotel room? Click on the Radisson Blu's booking website link above to book a standard room at MESPA's room block rate.

Where should I park? We recommend parking in either the East or West Ramps of the Mall of America for free overnight parking if you are staying at the Radisson Blu. If you do park overnight at one of the MOA ramps you must fill out a form sharing information about your car with the hotel when you check in. Details about parking on-site at the Radisson Blu.

My question is not listed here! What should I do? Please contact MESPA at 952.297.8670 or mespa@mespa.net! MESPA staff are happy to help.
