ACCOMMODATIONS
If you registered under the NETWORK MEMBER LODGING BENEFIT package, please do not make a separate hotel reservation, as NeighborWorks America already has you included on the master guest room block. As a network member lodging benefit package participant, your lodging costs are covered in full for the reservation nights made by NeighborWorks America. If the Network Member Lodging Benefit packages were sold out or you registered under the Network Member NO Lodging Needed package, and are responsible for making your own lodging arrangements, please see the ACCOMMODATIONS section instructions for how to make your lodging reservation at the event group rate at one of the event hotels.

Hotel assignments will be posted to your NTI schedule by no later than August 5. Failure to check into the hotel on the confirmed date is considered a “no-show” and may lead to your hotel reservation being canceled. If hotel reservations were confirmed on your behalf by NeighborWorks and you did not cancel and did not show up at the event, the hotel will assess a no-show charge, which will then be billed to your organization. Note that reinstatement of a no-show reservation is not guaranteed and will be based on hotel availability.
